Default cushcraft X7 - help

Hi oM
I'm Pasquale IW0HEX, I live in Rome, ITALY
I bought a tribander antenna, Cushcraft X7, second hand (used) from OM
in South Italy.
Now I have 2 manuals of this antenna, one original and one download on
cushcraft homepage by internet.
There are some difference into 2 manuals about element's lenght.
In details :

Element Original manual (8/98) Download manual (12/97)

1 220" 220"
2 147-1/2" 147-1/2"
3 205-1/2" 208" (difference !!)
4 140" 137" (difference !!)
5 111" 111"
6 83" 86" (difference !!)
7 75" - 7" - 29" 77" - 7" - 35" (difference !!)

Last element (7) is trapped so it's divided in 3 parts (2 traps)

My question is : which are the rights lenghts ?????
Who has installed this antenna can help me ????
Tnx in advance.
