As a matter of course, I triple-measured before I came here to bother you guys. And I didn't buy the bearings separately; they came with the frame and old fork.
Everything checks out. 40 mm OD on tapered fork steerer at crown, 36 degree chamfer on integrated crown race - the bearings I have fit that spec, and were in the frame with the old fork, so they fit the frame's specs too.
