Does anyone have the actual distances from the datum from their original documentation from the factory or other source for A and B (see picture)?

Weighed my plane yesterday and I thought I had those values but it was the first time in its history to be weighted and came from the factory as "computed." I could pull out the tape and start eyeballing it to get an estimation but if you have a more reliable computation I would love to have it. It is my OCD kicking in as you can tell. I like to be exact.

Good news is, after never being weighted and several additions/deletions over the 47 years out of the factory, my useful load only decreased (or was already gone to be more exact) about 40 Lbs. I am happy with that number along with a sense of security now on my W&B computations.
