As previously noted in Post 5, serial number suggests this example is from 1979.
Concur that it is probably the "Touring Elite" variant of the "Profesional." (sic) Brazed on eyelets are the tell.

Don't think you can buy "larger wheels" then the 630s, which the Bontrager Sport B (27x1?) tires seem to suggest it currently sports?
If the geometry is as generous as the 1973 Acer-Mex Carabela Profesional currently on queue, your Windsor should easily accommodate 700x35 Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass rubber, which can handle almost anything in the path of your commute. Caveat, they may need to be deflated when installed.

Nice Bike.
