 Oh, you are going for 100% original look!  I'm just at "good enough".

Physical size is not the problem, the face markings in the window are. Every one I've seen, they are distorted and getting accurate sizing and spacing was impossible.

 It shouldn't be difficult to get a decent measurement with a cut-down business card. Cut and try it in the retainer slots on the transmitter face. Then measure the height. The width can be measured on the retainer itself.
  
  I used a plexiglass divider that comes the plastic storage drawers. It was just a tad short width-wise , but covers 95% . The height was just about perfect, slid right in!

   Does anyone in the group have a good, unshriveled window for either of 
 these two transmitters and would be willing to make some measurements 
 and photos? I have a friend that thinks he can make a set of molds on 
 his laser engraver if I can build up a set of drawings. Every unit I've 
 come across in the last few years has had a distorted window, so decent 
 measurements were not possible.
 
 
 Thanks,
