the letters on the top tube should be for the model name. From your description of the letters the model name that fits is "ROYAL".

The headbadge is the same as that for 1983 model year Kuwamara built Nishikis.

There is another Nishiki "ROYAL" (not Royale) from member matimeo. His serial number very close to yours, ARYC466854. See the following threads:

Actually, this is a 1984 model. The model could be Royale as opposed to Royal. This model started out as a upgraded versionof the Olympic in 1978 and at that time the model name ended with an "e". There are other Royales in the database too, though I can't confirm the model name with the "e" as late as 1984. It's possible that this one could go either way.
