B-1 Case Size Chronolog Discrepancy?

The 2001 Chronolog (pg 127) calls the diameter of the B-1 at 41.5 mm. The 2002 Chronolog (pg 33) calls the diameter of the B-1 at 43.2 mm. Which one is right? Or is there a case diameter difference between newer and later B-1 models?

The 2002 Chronolog lists case diameters that do not match the pre-2002 Chronologs. While the physical size of the watches did not change, Breitling's measurement method did.

Prior to 2002, the listed case size included the 2 o'clock start/stop chronograph pusher. For 2002, it does not. Thus, a Chronomat with a listed case diameter of 41.50 mm in 2001 is now listed at 39.00 mm.

Copy/paste from the Unoffical Breitling FAQ

But for that to be correct, possibly Guy switched the numbers for 2001 and 2002?
