Default Old school launch tower dimensions

Anyone have close up pics/dimensions on the gorgeous launch towers in this image from Bill Stine? Painted or unpainted, it doesn't matter.

Also, were they set for a single body diameter or were they adjustable?

Default Pogo-Hi Tower Launcher Model ---

In a letter dated 3 March 1957 from Harry Stine to Orville Carlisle, Harry Stine references a Pogo-Hi tower model built at White Sands during the R&D on the Pogo.

I'm wondering if this was the basis for the MMI produced tower.
