Mine measure 1.75 inches assembled, body only, not measuring the protrusion of
the spool. I don't have one for the IIIf and earlier LTM models.

I don't believe it's been mentioned but the cassette for the M is also the one
for the IIIg.

Also, to use them with the M6 you must have the baseplate which opens them. At
some point in production of the M6 the actuation feature of the baseplate was
removed.
