Hi Alex,
I'm in the same happy/unhappy position as you, having recently 
acquired one myself. The hoods , unhappily, seem to be expensive. 
Eyeballing the 50 & 35 versions on ebay, looks as if they are about 
the same depth but the 35 is larger in diameter, so the measurement 
you are seeking may not be all that helpful.

What about tulip-ising your spare 50, sighting through the back of an 
M-series from the corners to see when you have cut enough?

If anyone has a hood, battered, non-collectible...
