There are actually a number of Moulton frames. There are some specific Moulton discussion groups and forums.
I identify what you have by referencing those sites and the info you want should filter out.
"standover" height should be easy, it is a matter of seat tube length or seatpost length.

Depending how old a bike yer talkin' here, I'd wager one would need to be at least 16 hands tall to ride a Moulton F frame.

Three sizes IIRC: standard, midi, mini. Also a Triang-branded child's version. Midi was the 7/8th size with 14" wheels. Mini was smaller and lacked front suspension. The 5' 4" lower limit sounds about right to me. The stem and seat post have a lot of adjustment, but the reach might start to become excessive.

Moulton Midi, no front suspension and a Raleigh product. Pretty rare I think.
