My Martin measurements are, for 000/OM, 000 12 fret are 4 1/8" for box at bottom but list no measurement at top for any of the three. What is proper measurement at top end?

I appologize for so many posts today but I think, in reaction to the news of surgery, that my Bi-Polar malady, my brain chemicals have decided to handle the news in the hypo-manic mode, so, in order to avoid p---- anyone off, I am giving my keyboard to my neighbor until I come down a bit.

My Martin OOO is 4 1/8" at the tail and 3 3/4" at the head.     My Martin OM is 4 1/8" and 3 7/8". Both of these are from the 30s when Martin sizes were variable to say the least, but they are the sizes I use when building 12-fret OOOs and 14-fret OMs respectively.
