Double Butted???

I just purchased an old (70s era) Falcon frame. It was repainted and all the orig stickers are either gone or painted over. Anyone know how to tell if the bike was made from butted Reynolds steel or straight gauge steel.

I know the higher end frames were butted, but not sure which model this one is.

Thanks for any help you may have.

What a great concept

Reynolds 531 thanks much as well as all others. I like the frame and what in the long run does it really matter which version of Reynolds the frame was made from, it will be fun to fix it up.
