If it is a MO Oxford (and it sounds like it is) then get in touch with
the MO & 6/80 club. They could tell you what year it is pretty
accurately.
The only puzzling thing from your description is the 'bullnose' bit.
Only the very early (c.1920s) Oxfords/Cowleys had this.
There is a link to the MO & 6/80 website on my site, but it's been ages
since I did any work on it, so no guarantees of it working...

Hope this info is of some use.
