Princess conductor length

I just got my first Princess phone, and I'm happy with it, except for the mounting cord.   At some point, the four "regular" conductors had their lugs cut off and were screwed under the terminals in a square plug.  The two conductors for the light were cut off flush with the outer jacket, leaving nothing exposed. 

It shouldn't be too difficult to repair all this.  I can replace the missing lugs, move the restraint back a bit, expose more of the conductors, etc., but I need to know how much of the conductors are exposed.  Can anybody measure the end of an intact princess 6-conductor cord for me, please?  I'd like to know if all six conductors are the same length, and how long their exposed portions are.

Bing, on one of mine, measuring at the wall end of the mounting cord, five inches from the edge of the insulation to the tip of the spade tips---6 of them.

Wow. They're surprisingly long.  Thanks, Dennis.
