The file is a 73.8 × 44.0 × 19.2 m box; Wikipedia, GlobalSecurity and Old Machine Press agree on these three sizes. Empty weight differs between sources (286 t vs 243 t).
No manufacturer drawing is public, so the entry is marked secondary.
True size, no printing tolerance added. Only published numbers are used; anything not published is said so.
