Bit peevedOH NO!
L5 is 11” same as a 140That's probably off a L5
To be honest mate all the measurements are right, but because it was with the Harrison lathe I just assumed the centre height was correct. Live and learn. No one is at fault. The seller said it is his employees who use the lathe and he doesn’t know much about them.This is exactly why I hate distance buying and selling its much better to see an item in the flesh, Winchboy and I collected it but we wouldn't have had a clue.

140mm centre height so 280mm or 11".So what size is the swing on your lathe, and what size is the steady? In your picture it looks like it’s too small, but then you say later on it’s about 1 ½” too high.
I have a reason for asking of course..
L5 then. Given the difficulty of obtaining them I’d shim itThe lathe it should go on has a swing of 9”
I’m gonna sell it and cast a new one
