Dual in line master cylinders, regardless of the assumptions
made in the proposal, are not normally the same bore.
Side-by-side constructs, as used in Cobra's, can be anything
you chose, but the serial ones were constructed to comply
with the Federal Safety requirements of redundant systems.
The manufacturers, who were mostly into front wheel disc
brakes by this time, altered the bores of the front vs rear
to eliminate the need for equalization by building it into
the system.

There are, of course, exceptions to this observation, but it
is correct for the most part.

Besides, the while thing is mostly academic, as there is no
room in a Tiger for the width of side-by-sides, or length or
the in line systems, anyway.
