Width 1,675mm
Height 1,335mm
Wheelbase 2,555mm

Doesn't sound like an exact match
So, 17ft for the lower Cd?

Yes.I think the long-tailed body without wheels was Cd 0.170,and they made bread slices,cutting the length down as Cumbeford did on his,finally reaching a 'production' length target,with only a slight drag increase,@ Cd0.171.
When they added wheels the drag shot up to 0.35,and they had to spend a lot of time with the cooling system,wheel areas and aspirated rear bumper,to get it down to Cd0.203.
It was amazing in 1978.
