Imperial 5D pipe bend charts

Not exactly specific to Plant 3D but I'm building some pipe specs and need to source some information as a sanity check for pipe bend dimensions. I already manually drafted a few 5D bends to compare my own dimensions against some of the existing sizes we have in our specs and, while the 90 DEG bends seem fine, I'm finding that the numbers don't line up for the 45 DEG 5D bends. I'm hoping to get my hands on something that provides standard dimensions for both 45 DEG and 90 DEG 5D bends up to NPS 48.
It's easy enough for 90 DEG bends - our company goes with a standard of 1 diameter straight length pipe at each end so the formulas for the center-to-end dimensions, or dimension 'A' in the chart below, are simply OD *4 for a 3D bend and OD*6 for a 5D bend.
I was able to find the below chart that provides imperial dimensions for 3D bends but am having difficulty sourcing an equivalent chart or resource that provides standard 5D bend dimensions. If anyone has something they'd be willing to share it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
