Ah, that's the transitional shifter before the window shifter. It has the improved internal spring, but no window. I'm confident this bike dates to before 1950. Interesting that the seat tube transfer says Raleigh Sports in the same font as they used in the early 50s instead of Sports Tourist like the full chaincase model in the 1948 catalog. I think we can narrow it down to 1948- 1949. I'm looking forward to hearing what the date stamp on the hub is.
