Hi Gents, I'd say you have some flexibility when it comes to reproducing these catches....plenty of 'hand made' inconsistencies!! For one example, the mounting slots were off center and not nice ovals at all, and the slot spacing varied from 28-30mm. Also the curve shape varied by side, with max height (i.e., tip of catch) of 25.0mm(R) and 27.5mm(L)

Here are some other dimension:

thickness 1.7mm (both catches)

edge-to post = 11.7 & 13mm

trapezoid 'height' 41mm (both catches).

As for the rod material, it must be 6mm - you get this only when measuring the very tip of the curved rod. Everywhere else they vary from 6 to 7mm...due to (I'm guessing) the brazed construction and flow of material. Here are a few images highlight the inconsistency - the last one shows how the L and R side holes match up -
