Z1/Z2 OEM handlebars

Greetings All...but this perhaps should be aimed at slmjim and Z1BEBE.  I have a 1975 Z2A and am looking to replace the handlebars with a dimensionally OEM set of handlebars.  There may have been handlebar swapping in the history of this motorcycle so I am unsure if my bars are original or are aftermarket. That said, does anyone have measurements on an original set of Z1 handlebars. I have purchased several sets of handlebars from reputable dealers and both were listed as stock Z1 bars...but neither resemble (different width and angle) the set that I just pulled off the Z2A..

Though not from a Z1 or Z2 I do have this info for the stock bars on a 650 B/C model that was posted in the past on the old kz650.info site. Thought it might provide more info on the subject.

Width 29.5" Rise 2" Pullback 5.5" Center Width 4.5"

Width - how wide they are.
Rise/Drop - how much they rise/drop above/below the handle bar mounts.
Pullback - how far back towards the rider the bar ends are from the handle bar mounts.
Center Width - how wide/long the straight part of the bar is in the center .
