What is Donkey Kong Side Art position? Can anyone tell me?

I'm restoring a DK for my brother in law and don't have an original cabinet ot reference as this one didn't have any side art when it got to me.

How far down from the top of the cabinet is it? and what are the measurements in from each side? I don't think it was perfectly centered originally, but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance!

For all of my cabs, I use the middle of the marquee as the line for the top of my art,, then split the difference on either side (front of cab to back).
 
I think I mention the measurements in my Donkey Kong video

I know I do in my Junior video. Don't sweat it , Nintendo wasn't so consistent with it themselves.

When you take out your monitor bolts in the side of the cabinet there should be a tiny bit of art left under the bolt head, I used that to align my replacement art exactly the same as the original art.
 
I centered the Donkey Kong letters on the side art with the lower marquee bracket.
I got it where I wanted and then measured the top edge of the art to the top edge of the cab to make sure it was straight.
That is how it was on the flyers.

Donkey Kong Side are Position UPDATED - I just measured some original side art off of a machine I just purchased, and from the top of the cabinet to the top of the side art is 4 11/16" (4 3/4" measured with the T-moulding in place). From the back of the panel to the side art is 2 5/16"
