Sure is. In 1969 it would have been made at the Nottingham factory by Raleigh. So it's essentially a Raleigh Sports with lower cost fittings. Well made, bomb proof roadster. They come in different sized frames, so make sure it is the right size for you.

...I had a slightly older one of those in the standard diamond frame configuration as a kid. So mine was older than 1969 by at least ten years. It was bought at Southeast Cycles in Washington, D.C., (the local Raleigh dealer) and was slightly cheaper than a Raleigh Sports. The Dunelts of that era also came in brighter colors than the standard Raleigh black and green. What the others said about made by Raleigh.
I rode mine all over the place, until some weasel stole it from out back of my apartment when I was in the Navy.
