Question Staghound hull MG casement?

Been putting together some markings for Bronco's 1/35 scale Staghound, and I end up running out of room on the glacis plate, such that the arrangement does not quite match that of a period photo:

I've taken a measurement of the width of the kit part (cast mound including the weld bead), and then placed that over a scan of the glacis plate. Placing that unit of measure three times across the glacis, it ends up extending past the kit part.

Using the same method on an actual photo, the result is different. So wondering if maybe the kit part is tad large.

Anyone have access to official blueprints, or actual vehicle and provide a measurement of the width for the MG cast mound? The height measurement against the glacis plate would be good to have too if possible.

regards,
Jack
