The Estes LEM Shroud is a “typical” transition, with tubes sliding over shoulders on each end. So no tube goes thru the transition. So, I think anything above the transition is really just the “Service Module Body Tube”. But, I could be missing the point ...
(And so I’m not cutting tube until I am sure of required length.).
