Quite!
Definitely 70's though - the steel campag headset's probably original, and band-on brake cable guides were also common on lightweight bikes in the 70's too. My Roberts is from 1972 which gives some idea of when the drilled out lugs were fashionable.
The downtube shifters are fun too..
When the gearing was upgraded it looks like a pair of Japanese braze-on levers were fitted onto the original early 70's chrome shifter band!
