After a bit of work on CAD, i came up with this rough figure.
I assumed a vertical distance of 200.5mm between ball joints (according to this drawing) and a slight divergence between the upper and lower wishbones towards their outer ends (ball joint ends)
My "tape measure applied to the side of upright" measurement indicated the distance between balljoints is about 210 mm. I based my calculation on this length, and it works out at 5.5° then. But, this does not take KPI into account, so, looks like your numbers are more accurate.
