A little backstory: so I bought the bike before 2 mounts and on the frame it says that its Orange 224 evolution but I browsed true the internet and it doesn't seem to be it the frames don't mach so I was stuck when I was trying to buy parts for the bike and that is why I'm asking for help if someone can identify the model of the bike.
This is My Frame:
This is the Orange 224 evo:

from https://archive.orangebikes.co.uk/bike/2009/224-evo_race/
The welding of the top tube to the head tube is definitely different. The 2009 model you've linked to has a beefy gusset, whereas your bike does not.
However there are many similarities in the general design, so it looks like a bike made by Orange. Whether its the exact Evolution 224 model you think it is, that's unknown as is the year.
Remember decals can be bought and applied by anyone, as can paint.
Your best option is to look through all the old catalogues looking for identifying parts that don't change, like the raised chainstay/swingarm and the welding on the frame. Ignore forks, stem, saddle, grips, rotors, wheels, tyres, paint, stickers/transfers, cranks and anything else that can be changed.
