Cinelli Tempo bars. Drop and reach measurements?

Does anyone know how much drop the Cinelli Tempo bullhorn bar has? I picked up an old Cinelli stem and want to know how these bars compare to the Nitto rb-021 bar. I could rig up a spacer, but would like to run the correct diameter if possible. I have the Nitto bars already, but would sell them if they are similar to the Cinelli bars. Thanks.

The diameter is the old road bar standard. 26.4mm.

The drop looks to be about the same as the Nittos, which is almost 3".

Thanks for the reply. I am still trying to figure out if I want to swap the bars or try and use a shim with a different set of bars. The stem is a spare for now. The Cinelli bars would be wider and I don't think I want that. Hopefully a seatpost shim works with 25.4 bars. I have seen a shim for 25.4 to 26.4 for seatposts that I could cut down.
