The Ford Barn

I am restoring the rear end of my roadster. When I removed the rear end, I found the top leaf was cracked and missing about 50mm of one end. No problem, I'll get another from the leaf collection, or so I thought. Putting both side by side, the roadster leaf is longer than the others I have. They have all come from either tudors, tourers or utes, but no roadsters. I had a look at Marco's chart, but there is no reference to length of each leaf. Is there another chart with lengths listed, or is the top leaf for roadsters, listed as 7, the same length as other number 7's, but with the upper surface chamfered to fit inside the chassis?
