The reason that I ask is that with a normal Vintage style bridge the bender hub is 1.5 inches behind the string thru holes...and it's relative position looks to be just about wher your bender hub is in relation to the back edge of the bridge.
On an American standard bridge the hub winds up closer to the back edge of the bride due to the differences in the bridge dimensions and it's mounting holes. ...(ie like your Parsons Green picture above)

It was a body that only came with string through holes drilled. Yes, it is the Gotoh bridge that retrofits the Vintage mounting holes. I put the guitar together, and Bill Bores installed the benders.
