Now remember, Nora was found abandoned in Kuroyuri, but was said to be a foreigner. As most of Anima has an Asian influence to its design, its implied Nora isn't from Anima, unless she was from Argus due to its Atlesian influence...

Now, recall the Thorsday mention. She said that was the day she discovered her semblance, after being struck by lightning and not dying.

But what does this have to do with Ozpin? Well, if you'll recall, Ozma's incarnation prior to Ozpin is unknown. It's a generally accepted idea that the prior incarnation is the King of Vale, as both Ozpin and the King of Vale are said to have been the founders of the Academies. So that leads to two possibilities:

You are way overthinking this, first off, she looked foreign to the inhabitants of Kuroyuri because they were separatists from the Asian section, it was never said Argus is the end all of the European populous of Anima, they made no other stops on the train in the northern section, and there were other lines too.

Jaune's family, for instance, visited that town they passed through, yet didn't live IN Argus, and Nora was like 5, most peoples memories don't start until around that age.

Second, we have every indication that Semblances don't generally unlock that early, her first lightning strike probably happened after meeting Ren, not before.

Third, we have a very small approximate lifespan for any link between KoV and Ozpin. Ozpin was born before or during the war. King of Vale died shortly afterwards, we know this because somehow, despite Ozpin being born during/before, he was something like early 20's to 30's when he took over as the youngest head of an academy, and we should all be able to surmise that he was at least a year into training his new body before he stepped up.
