No discrepancy... We came up with the same number (that amazed me!). I
measured from the rolled lip below the grille, directly in front of the
hole. Since you covered the measuremnt from the rear edge, all bases are
covered. I used the front because the rear one is so close I figured there
might be more room for error, but mine is the same. Hvving all four is good.
