distributor drive shaft/tang slot

Anyone know how far off center (of 1/2" shaft)that the slot AND tang is cut.
Trying to figure out mechanics of refitting a magneto TANG to shaft slot.

Thanks for your efforts :) !
I will use these numbers to do further research.

I'm wondering is Ford had a 'drawing' of what an original shaft measured...as to outside diam and slot tang.
