And where did Lehner and Hawass get their data from? Are coordinates given or is this just a paper map in a book?

If Lehner and Hawass have secretly surveyed Khafre and Menkaure and found that Petrie blundered I think we would have heard about it before now. Glen Dash has stated that, where checked, Petrie's figures hold up pretty well.
But this question is only important if you wish to study the architecture of the pyramids in detail. Any map is good enough to suggest a correlation with Orion or mountains in Greece.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but your hypothesis seems to be that Giza architects copied three Greek mountains. But where is the evidence that OK egyptians had any interest in Greece and sent surveying teams to measure its topography?
