It is very well known, that Willson (and Sterling) measure the bore by measuring the outer diameters of the 2nd and 4th slides respectively. this is a calculated, and extremely irrelevant/dishonest, plot by their marketing departments.

From your samples it is obvious, that Yamaha, Besson, and Meinl-Weston take the honest and relevant route to measure the inner diameters.

I can not say for sure about the Miraphone 1258, but I lean very much towards the belief, that they have gone dishonest as well. That model very likely has the exact same inner diameters as the Bessons.
