Default Mach 10 tube length?

Hi guys...

Cloning a Centuri Mach 10, but having a little difficulty resolving the length of the ST-16. Semroc's site gives it as an ST-1685 (8.5" long), whereas the JimZ plans say 8". Is one right, or is this another of those instances where the tube length changed (shortened), perhaps to accommodate the weight of the ST-16 coupler instead of the lighter mylar ring used in the older kits?

I think there were two versions of the Centuri kit, one with the shorter tube and one with the longer. Kits from the early 80's had the longer tube.
