Brooks Saddle Tab dimensions please

[Yellow Saddle]

Could someone with a Brooks saddle handy please do a measurement for me? I want to know the centre to centre distance of the two slotted tabs at the back of the saddle placed there to attach a saddle bag.

:

This photo shows them but there is nothing of known size in this picture I can use to scale and calculate the spacing. I'm also after the internal width of these slots since they dictate the width of the straps.

I want to adapt these belt bags I make as a saddle bag for a friend with a Brooks saddle. The season should give you a hind why I'm not asking him outright

I hope there are no variations in the saddle spacing.

I make it 11cm.

EDIT: That's for a recent B17 without the larger brass rivets.

I would double check that, but I would get blown away if I went out in this.
