My 1969 Raleigh catalog shows an all white Pro (mod.DL-150) with wrap around seat stays, sloping crown, no chrome, Weinmann brakes, and what appears to be orange and black bands on the seat tube. All this for $210! I think that this was the first year for the Raleigh Pro although Carlton advertized a very similar model called the Giro D'Italia a few years earlier, but with the Victor seat cluster - making it pretty much the same as the '70 and later Raleigh Pro's. I just can't get enough Raleigh trivia!
