To clarify whether they are the same at the front I mounted the two crankcases side by side on their own 'chassis' set at the same level. As before the one on the left is the low frame crankcase. The steel bar across the top confirms that at the front end they are essentially at the same level.
For completeness I also show the rear view, again with the low frame crankcase on the left. The steel bar shows that the low frame crankcase sits 7-8mm above the high frame one when measured across the top of the bell housing. It's surprising that it makes so much difference but now I know why the nosecone hole in my radiator shell was damaged on its upper aspect by the nosecone.
(I should have anticipated the opportunity for 'product placement' sponsorship from the paint suppliers.)
