The math is super easy - just count over three places (from the right) and put a decimal-- there's your dimension.
For instance, the booster diameters are 2680 mm so its 2.680 inches or BTH-80 size. Or, even better, the core is 2050mm, so in my scale, its 2.05 inches or Series 20 tubing.
Attached is a fairly high-res, version of the Minakov drawing. I think its the best all-around drawing. I have a higher res version if anyone wants it, just PM me.

That was the main drawing I used for my model. A hi-res is available on ninfinger's site, yours may be even better.
