I think you are looking too in depth at it if I am honest
You don't need any tools to measure the difference, it sticks out when they're lined up in Gateshead Interchange.
I would have thought when they're essentially doing a copy and paste job on the same vehicle with different colours, they could at least get the stripe in the same place
Look at these two examples. There has to be nearly a metre between them!
