Jim,the template's aft portion is basically modeled on the aft portion of a L/D= 2.5 streamline body of revolution as displayed in one of Hucho's tables.It should be mentioned in the abstract for the 'Template' thread.
I would have done a photo-enlargement of a small image and attempted to 'clean it up' with a French curve,and in so doing,create some of the 'bumps' in the image.
If you can find a large,clean image of this dimension of 'teardrop',it's what you're looking for.
