I want to copy as close as possible one of the original Bally cocktails. Question is, is the wood tabletop underneath the glass exactly the same size as the glass, 22" x 32", and then when the t-molding is added, that sticks out a bit beyond the edge of the glass,

- OR -

is the wood tabletop slightly smaller than the glass, so that when the t-molding is added, the glass edge is flush with the t-molding?

The blueprints I'm using show them both being the same size, however every picture I've found of an original Bally cocktail shows the t-molding flush with the edge of the glass, so the wood top should actually be a little smaller all around. Anyone with an original Bally cocktail want to check this out for me please? Thanks guys.
 
Referencing from my original Galaxian cocktail:
It's really hard to say, because the glass isn't cut flush and flat on the edges, it has some curve to it. The t-molding does seem to protrude on the sides, but in the control panel bends it isn't flush either, the glass protrudes further than the molding.
