Dave, your work saved my build! Hehe! Your research and build are great pieces of work! Please post anything you would like here. It will definitely help all of us out.
I apologize for not posting this here but here is a quick background on an area that I noticed. Dave has been helping me to dissect this area to better understand it.

You can see that the port side mandible wall extends longer than expected before it meets the curved hull. The top arrow shows the hull notch and the bottom shows the sidewall intersection. None of the popular blueprints show this area like this.

In the above pic, you can see the bottom arrow shows how the parts drive straight past where the curve of the hull and mandible would meet according to most blueprints. The top arrow shows the Tyrrell part which is not curved to the hull as in many builds, but in fact straight.
I was aware of this but I still panicked when my test strip didn't match 100%. Dave re-assured me by quickly comparing the more common blueprints out there. I'll let him chime in if he would like. Thanks Dave!
