Slightly oval would be right, but maybe still a KZ3 then? Check to see if the downtube is round, if it is then a KZ4, otherwise late KZ3.

My bro's Laserlite is an 84 but with a 83 serial with 83 forks. Does it have Kuwahara on the brake bridge and K logo / knurling on the rear dropouts?
I've put a link to his below, hope this helps.  :daumenhoch:
