Needed: Abloy 330 key measurement

I believe this uses a Classic + high profile (C-shaped) cross-section. Does anyone have one of these keys and the ability to measure the width of the bottom portion for me? I'm interested in the bottom two discs, as seen in crappy diagram:

EDIT: the "code" tag apparently doesn't preserve whitespace, making ASCII (and Python) completely useless. So have this altered image I stole from Snowyboy instead:

Thanks in advance.

Steve,

Classic profile key tip (last two discs) =.120" or 2,96mm, whichever you prefer.

Disclock profile key tip = 1.30" or 3,30mm

ProTec 2 profile key tip = .105" or 2,66mm

I know you did not ask for the last two, but thought I should check for myself, too.

Good luck,

Gordon

There is 10 positions for cuts. 6 different cut depths. Cut number 0 is un cut, and number 5 is full 90 degrees. So that makes 18 degree difference on each cut number.
The first cut is 3 mm. from the tip of key, each cut is 2 mm. wide alltho the discs are only 1,4 mm. So you have a tolerance of about 0,3 mm. on each side.
Your key has a zero-cut on the tip, so tip of your key is 5mm. Like Gordon said, 3mm. tip + first disc 2mm.
