However when you look at the dimensions for length/width in the streamlining template, the "length" of the nose becomes part of the 2.5:1 length/width definition.

So it seems that the nose shape is "critical" at least when it comes to understanding the ideal "wing shape" that you have proposed many times here.

Absolutely!
If we were doing a body in white,we'd need to consider the 'whole' vehicle.
The 'Template' was to be only an aid for aft-body streamlining,as I've no idea how we could modify existing production cars to mimic the 2.5:1 full nose.
