Despite the non-drive image, your picture clearly shows SunTour Power Shifters which at least corroborates SunTour derailleurs. The frame is hi-tensile steel.
The other possibility is that the seller has mistaken a CCM Concorde for a TdC. Both came in similar colours (slightly different shades of purple) and the Concorde did use Reynolds 531, though it was only plain gauge and only in the main triangle. The Concorde was available in a mixte frame. I could see someone who is not knowledgeable about bicycles confusing the two tubesets and not picking up on other differences. While the Concorde was never offered with Campagnolo components, its not inconceivable that the OEM Simplex Prestige were replaced by an entry Campagnolo model, such a Valentino.
Nah you can see Tour du Canada name on the chain stay on this picture. I think the seller knows the difference and decided to have some fun with me, get me a little excited. He followed it up a little later with an lol comment so ... Well played seller! Good thing I have nothing better to do right now.
