Well I've had another look at my saddle (a B17) and according to @Big_Block's links it looks like my saddle dates from 1996 if I'm reading the 6D9 stamp correctly, certainly from the 1990s based on the badge design. So yet another item I will have to change at some point!
At the moment the only things I feel confident are age appropriate with the frame are the Lytaloy headset and the Chater Lea lamp bracket.
Even though the rear wheel is around the right age (stamped 1949) I don't think it is original as the frame has a braze on boss for a Cyclo or Simplex derailleur shifter fitted so probably never had a Sturmey Archer hub fitted. It is a nice wheel though.
