You know, I am very sorry that this slipped past me. I’ll measure the dimensions this evening. Please do send over your illustration.

No worries! Here is the drawing, in theory the notch at the bottom should match in particular is you can check:
  1. The positioning of the pins, that should correspond 1:1.
  2. Is the connector on the side where pin 1 is on the top left? (the drawing is from the same side)
  3. the slant of the top part, I hope it is ok
On the top of the board there should be two exposed solder notches, could you measure where they appear? If I understand correctly it is for a GND connection to the chassis? The docs don't give dimensions.
Thanks!

So, here are the dimensions that I got, all recorded on the photo of my card. Also included is a photo of the bottom of the connector for reference. Hope this helps!
