Difference in G7 diameters:
G7e 534.6 mm (+/- 0.1mm)
G7a 533.4 mm (+/- 0.1mm)
HOWEVER after filling G7a compressed air tank with air their
diameter become 534.6 so they fit to torpedo tube. (tank is 3115 mm long)
German tubes were 534.6 mm diameter
G7s, were:
7175mm for TIV homing device
7133mm for TV homing device
