Doubt about Cherry stabilizer size

Hello everybody, I'm a newbie :D
I am working on a CAD model for a plate and I am using the DXF files from the website http://builder.swillkb.com/ as a starting point: I'm interested in MX plate mount stabilizer. I've found online a couple of CAD designs of Cherry original stabilizers but there are discrepancies in dimensions. From the swillkb.com DXF file it seems that the arm witdh is 6,75 mm while from CAD files I've found the size seems to be 6,80 mm.
Also to complicate everything from Cherry specifications I've found online the correct width should be 0,262 inches i.e. 6,65 mm.
What confuses me is that the dimensions that I found in the stabilizers CAD are well beyond the tolerance declared by Cherry :?:

So I'm a little confused: thank you in advance if you can help me out :D

This might depend on the place, way and material you get your plate cut, but I ordered a lasercut steel plate based on a plate generated by http://builder.swillkb.com/ a few weeks ago and the GMK stabs I used fit quite snug. They need a little bit of force to mount and won't come out on accident, so I'd say the dimensions on swillkb work fine.
