While I no longer have access to a 407, I inquired with several people on the measurements you are looking for. Was told a number of scale aircraft modelers will seek out high-resolution photos from online, from facebook and similar sites, and from libraries, etc on the subject aircraft. They would then identify an item within the photo with a known dimension like a radio, or instrument, or even a hardware fastener and apply that known measurement to the entire photo. Some will even scan the image into a special program and digitally measure the items of interest. Once they had a known scale of measurement for that photo, they would measure all the required items they needed. Perhaps give that method a try? If I run across any other specifications will post them for you. Best of luck.
