There were no standard lengths. Builders did what they felt worked in their minds and this was before "forks-R-us" buyout carbon forks encouraged some uniformity.

In general bikes were designed with a level top tube in mind, but I have a few and seen many examples with factory components that did not have a level top tube.
A 3 to 4 mm difference will probably translate to .25° change in head angle as a rough guess.
I would really like that so I would know how close to original is my fork.Also if you could measure the closest distance between the front tire and the down tube,I'd be interested.Mine is exceedingly close.About 1 centimeter.Slightly less at the back wheel!Does your toes hit the tire sometimes?
