The Weathershields/Britax roof came in about 6 sizes when I was fitting them back in the 70s, the "A" roof was the size for a Mini or Herald, the "B" roof was the one used on Dolomites and similar mid sized saloons, the "C" roof went into larger saloons like Jag XJ6 and I only ever fitted one "D" roof, that was to a '66 Chevy Impala! The other 2 were, IIRC, F or G and H, The "H" roof was little bigger than a letterbox and was used in TR7 hardtops and the "G" was a bit bigger, though shorter than an "A", this found a home in GT6s, amongst others.
Sadly I can't now remember any dimensions (if I ever knew them, we didn't have to measure the holes we cut, templates were provided) In fact we only ever got one critical measurement provided per car, that being from the back edge of the screen rubber to the front of the template, then measure to make sure the template is in the middle (which doesn't need a listed figure) scribe round the template and hack away.
All the roof stiffeners were hand made by the fitter for the individual car and everything was done by the sound engineering principal, "If it LOOKS right, it probably IS right" - which probably accounts for the fact that, the first time it rained after the long hot summer of '76, we got dozens of cars back for leak rectification!
The Tudor roof is actually quite rare (though Webasto has become the generic name for a sunroof of this type) mainly because it was nearly twice the price of the Weathershields one. I can't help much with that as I never worked on a Tudor roof, but I would guess that the dimensions would not exactly match any other makers kit. Not a guess is that, though the top will stretch lengthways when closed, maybe up to an inch max, the width will not be affected AT ALL. So you may not have the correct roof for your hole.
