60 whitewall width

As you may be aware the 1960 Imperial tyre was 820x15. If you specifically want the B.F.Goodrich Silvertown Vintage Tyre then you have a choice of a whitewall width of 1" , 2 1/2" or the 3 5/8 ". I believe that the original whitewall width was around 2 1/2 ". I had a similar problem with my 1960 Whitewalls. I bought the Firestone but went for their  3 1/2" width. If you are after the B.F.Goodrich tyre then I suppose you would buy the 2 1/2". This tyre is a 4 Ply Poly.
 
I know that Richard Burgess had an original whitewall in the boot of his 1960 Crown when he got it so he will know what the original width was. I'm sure he would measure it for you.

Greetings everyone
    I apologize in advance for a question that could be answered by simply searching the archives. But darn if I can find it!
 I am trying to find what should be the correct width of a 60 Imperial's  whitewall.
 As close as I can tell its anywhere from 2-1/2  inches up to 3.Specifically I want the width for the B.F. Goodrich Silvertown tire.
