Sorry to be brutal but you've bought an old cheap tent with no poles. It will almost certainly be knackered/leaky. Buying replacement poles will be throwing good money after bad.
I'd try to get a refund from the seller and start again.

It's brand new it just does not have the poles so the pole sizes would be a massive help

If it's brand new why doesn't it have poles?

the tent isnt brand new, they stopped making them many many years back at least 15 if i remember rightly.

Sean is correct your money would be better spent on buying a new tent with everything in place, dont be fobbed off this time, take everything out the bag and make sure its all there before you part with any money

I take it you knew it had some poles missing when you bought it?

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

We had a similar tent MANY years ago, there are LOTS of poles! - With some certainty I can say, as others have said, even if you can work out the correct length of poles, it's just not economic to buy a complete set of poles! The cost will be WAY beyond the worth of the tent! It's a fact of life, very few tents (of any type, let alone budget ones like yours!) are economically viable if you need to replace significant numbers of poles!

Ours was a bloody awful tent in conclusion (big mistake to buy in first place!), we sold it on after two uses, and bought a far more practical, tunnel tent as a replacement. - It was a pain to erect, it didn't fit majority of fixed pitch spaces, it was a horribly inefficient use of the ground space with guy ropes EVERYWHERE!

Unused as your tent maybe, time alone will likely have taken it's toll on the flysheet, and you are unlikely to get many years use out of it, investment in a complete set of poles is just throwing good money after bad IMHO!

Best advice - Sell it on for what it is, invest in a better tent COMPLETE with poles!

If you really wish to persist, once you've discovered the length of poles required, then Tent Spares is the generally regarded place to go: https://www.tentspares.co.uk/
