I might do, depending if I can get the gears off again without damaging the middle bearing.

Trikky!! Again, thank you! arty0047:

So with that information, I can say my case is:

Crank: 0.46mm Smaller than standard.
Case: 0.43mm Larger than standard.
Thrust: 1mm Larger than standard.

Allowing for a slight inaccuracy of the Vernier Calipers (or exactly where I was measuring / dirt etc etc), the closest measurements to the above on the VWH website would give the value of:

0.50 / 0.50 / 1.00

I am now 95% sure these are the correct bearings for my case and crankshaft configuration:

That's logical, right? :?

I have learned a little more! :mrgreen:
