Raleigh catalogs should be read with a grain of salt.

No, check that, with vintage Raleighs, you'll need this much.

The “73” mark I saw and mentioned in my post was seen on the Brooks saddle, not on the lug.

I have what I believe to be a 1972 Raleigh Competition (serial number begins with G, which St Sheldon says is nominally '72), with Nervex Pro lugs, sloping fork crown, black with gold lettering. Frame tubes 531 plus triangular 531 decals on the fork blades.

Mine is a '73 (based on H316 serial number) with same set up. I am assuming mine was a very early '73.
