Hi Colin,
Do you have the data for 10.5 - 16" tyres too? Also for sand tyres?
Cheers

The variations apply just as much today across different manufacturers. Here are 3 new-production 9.00-13 tyres; Left Olympic Sand Grip 30.5", Middle Bridgestone Alligator (uninflated) 29.75", right MRF Sand 30.75".

I don't think mounting the Bridgestone to a rim and inflating it would go over 30".

I agree with Tony that there were significant variations between manufacturers but as a rough rule of thumb, tires of that era were 100% profile (as tall as wide) so a 10.50-16 would be 16" (the rim) +2x10.5" (the tire) = 37" tall.

Having said this, the 9.25-16 used on the C8A (C8AX too?) were shorter than the 9.00-16 used on 15 cwts. I don't know of anything in the size designator to let one know this was a "low profile" tire.
