Are you sure the UP mounting is that big?

I don't know about the exact scale, but it surely was not a small mounting.

It is however apparent that the UP mount wasn't symmetrical.

It could probably do with shortening by a couple of pixels, The pic shows the operator sitting down, leading you to believe it was a smaller door.Apart from that there's not a lot you can do with it.
