The main tubes are 531 butted - I'm not sure about the fork and stay tubing. The seat post is 27mm in diameter. I put a pair of 27" x 1 1/4" wheels on it, and they have about 2cm of clearance to the fork crown and brake bridge. There are of course no decals other than the Reynolds decal at the base of the seat tube.

Would anyone know which model this is?

It could have the wrong reynolds sticker and be a competition. Super Courses had non hanger dropouts until they switched to Suntour Drops IIRC.

Maybe an earlier Gran Sport?
1973 Gran Sport is my final guess.
