Maybe the spec. was revised between the drawing and actual production? Maybe they just had a fork and/or headset that worked closely enough without matching the drawing exactly and didn't think people would be trying to measure things so precisely in the future?
Having two reference datums is an engineering and production no-no. I will go with the one that matters, the axle centerline datum.
