EDIT: my mistake. I see the note at the top of that page.

But I believe the figures on that page are collected from multiple sources, and the H x W estimate may not apply to all of them. I'll have to ask Daox - he made that page....
Almost all of the frontal areas are calculated from H x W. A few of them were found to be factory specifications, but very few.
