From a scale model of the Stuart tank, have determine the height of the glacis plate where the tins are located, to be approximately 24 inches. The tins don't appear to reach the full height so am guesstimating that each one is about 10 inches tall.

It took a few days to retrieve my only example and your calculations were near spot on. My tin is 9 inches by 9 inches by 12 inches with a 6 inch diameter hole. I hope this is not too late and helps.
