Disco 2 Something wrong? 2x the bump stop height measurements in a stock Discovery 2

I've measured my suspension heights and something seems wrong

Bump stop to axle bracket:

Front driver 96/97 mm
Front passenger 100 mm
Rear driver 121/122 mm
Rear passenger 125 mm

The RAVE manual says that the rear (with SLS/air springs) should be 61.5 mm for the bump stop clearance. Mine is double that! Same for the front…

But the hub to center wheel arch from the RAVE manual should be 473 mm (+/- 15 mm) at the back.

Mine are close to that; hub center to wheel arch (the plastic part):

Front driver: 483/484mm
Front passenger: 493mm
Rear driver: 471mm
Rear passenger: 474mm

What could have happened here?

The hub to arch measurement is right but bump stop clearance isn’t.

Did I measure wrong? From the bump stop’s metal bracket to the axle below it, right?

I've got:

• Factory shocks, coils, airbags, ACE, etc. (HSE 2003 V8 Discovery 2)
• I'm running tyres about 1-1.5 inches bigger than stock (265/60/18)
• No bullbar or accessories

RAVE manual:

have the bump stops rusted off?

No, intact and all good

Anyone have a photo of where I’m supposed to be measuring from?
