Canada/Europe - I honestly don't know.

A80 CRTs in the US are 32", A63 is 25", and A91 is 36". Rounding is allowed.
I'm in the US, so was Wells. I'm aware of the differences by country, but most of the specs I've seen for things using WTDS tubes have roughly followed what you stated. The 33" is the first exception I've found, so I was just curious why that was.
