So to bottom this out, there has been considerable assistance given on Facebook, in addition to what's on here
From info here, it looks like the 6inch of camber (measured to pin centreline) on my springs is the maximum quoted by Bill, slightly less than the maximum my father noted in his companion.
From Facebook, Anne Williamson I have this info. From a Remax Catalogue

So whilst I accept fully that is doesn't quote leaf thickness, it seems 6 leaf rear is entirely appropriate for a 1928 chummy.
Looks like its worth the effort of trying them.
Many thanks all who commented.
