I've noticed similar discrepancies with other nixie tube and socket datasheet drawings. Dimensions and angles stated are usually correct, however often the drawing itself often doesn't accurately reflect those dimensions and angles. For example, datasheet drawings of the NL-840 family pinout often show the four central pin positions to lie exactly on two parallel lines connecting four of the outer pins, which is not the case -- the central square is actually slightly rotated in respect to those outer pins. In reality, one of the diagonals of the square formed by the four central pins lies exactly on a line between a different pair of the outer pins.
