Difference between Vincent and Norton Handlebars

[youngjohn]

I remember reading that Vincent bars have different proportions than Norton straight bars, but can't remember where. Can anyone remind me of the different lengths of the centre straight bit?
Thanks.

In that case, The Spares Co have sold me Norton bars - I thought they didn't look right.

Update - I've spoken to Ian who is now going to resolve this.
