Yes, I never actually knew until I just measured them today that there are four separate lengths.
I'm not 100% sure (TB folks, can you help?) but my guess would be to take the measurement of the shaft itself (the smaller number) and measure the INSIDE of the pegbox, HOLE TO HOLE.
Remember that the cog itself and the "screw" at the end of the shaft actually sit outside of the pegbox.
There -was- a rattle years ago but someone at Gage fixed that and it's never returned since. One of the keys was a little loose.
I hope this is some help. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, I've actually never done these measurements before.
All the best
