This is the data I found on the needle profiles. I can't explain the
differences, I am just copying information from my SU book.

Needle AAC   Needle M

1    .089                .089
2    .0855              .0855
3    .0835              .0832
4    .0811              .0808
5    .0788              .0785
6    .0765              .0763
7    .0742              .0745
8    .072                .0726
