Looks very much like a 560 M/L. I suspect the quoted TT measurenent is actual rather than the virtual ( horizontal ) effective top tube length.

A bit of an odd set up, the bike features bar end and STI shifters, plus V brakes and a canti hanger!  Whatever they've been messing about with, those V brakes are not going to function well with those STI levers, it ought to carry a health warning.  Also looks to have had a cheap powder coat, at least I hope it was cheap they didn't even bother to preserve what was probably a nice stainless steel head badge.  I could be wrong but I thought all the original Nomads came in Humbrol colours so they could be touched up, or was there a mat black?

Also forgot the (less?) obvious. Looks more like an XTC - pump mounts behind the seat tube / shot in seat stays.

I had a MK1 Nomad with a pump peg behind the seat stay. Think a particular pump was de rigour at the time. Also, its badge was painted the same colour as the frame; grey in this instance. Bit of. stealth option.
I’m on tour so limited access to any Thorn archives.
