Perhaps one should look at the "real" measures. West wall by Cole = 230.357 metres. Height by Lehner = 146.59 metres. Neither of these measures is "exact" (there is no such man-made thing).
Using cubits. Petre gave "cubit" measures of .52375 metres for the 4th dynasty and .535 metres for the 5th dynasty. Doh. Perhaps both these measures were used?
