Wow, those dimensions are a bit cryptic...

I'd decpher the first one as:

Pine, actual 0.75 inches by 5.5 inches, of length 96 inches.

The 'NOM' I take to mean 'nominal' - what it's called in the timber yards (ie, a 1x6 plank that's 8 feet long).

Converting the 'NOM' values to metric that becomes 25mm x 150mm x 2400mm.

Welcome to the world of construction, where actual (real world) measurements do not match what's on the plans.

Cheers,
V.
