I would add what LNT are we talking 1 or 2 ?
In regards limits on CA/CLs
WNT = simple anything under 10,000t with guns less than 8" is ok.
Article XI
No vessel of war exceeding 10,000 tons (10,160 metric tons) standard displacement, other than a capital ship or aircraft-carrier, shall be acquired by, or constructed by, for, or within the jurisdiction of, any of the Contracting Powers. Vessels not specifically built as fighting ships nor taken in time of peace under Government control for fighting purposes, which are employed on fleet duties or as troop transports or in some other way for the purpose of assisting in the prosecution of hostilities otherwise than as fighting ships, shall not be within the limitations of this Article.
Article XII
No vessel of war of any of the Contracting Powers hereafter laid down, other than a capital ship, shall carry a gun with a calibre in excess of 8 inches (203 millimetres).

LNT (1) 1930 = This makes the CA and CL distinction (guns above or under 6.1") still under 10,000t as its a add on to WNT not replacing.

LNT (2) 1936 = still talks about 8 and 6" but adds 8,000t limit
(1) No light surface vessel of sub-category (b) exceeding 8,000 tons (8,128 metric tons) standard displacement, and no light surface vessel of sub-category (a) shall be laid down or acquired prior to 1 January 1943.

Note,
- some nations cheated from the start others added to ships later, even later during WWII everybody's ships are over weight but nobody cares about bits of paper.
- that even at the time informal notes suggested that going 'only' 500t over was acceptable.
- that none of the later ships are even close to the limits really.
