You can determine the actual model by measuring the size of the seat post. A Reynolds 531 frame would use a 26.4 - 26.6mm post. I'm not sure on the correct post size for a 620 frame, but I suspect it is something under 26.0mm.

Edit: The steel post and lack of shifter braze-ons also point towards a model 620.
my jeunet reynolds frame takes a 26.2 seatpost, strangely. mine also came with a steel seatpost and no shifter braze-ons. remember that the 630, while made from reynolds 531 DB, was the lowest of three reynolds "pro" level bikes jeunet offered. mine does differ from gaucho's frame in that it doesn't have the top tube cable braze-ons. i'm pretty sure his is a 620.
