Ian just for reference here is the SMT Plus sizing.
This is for the standard SOT23. (SMT Plus has over a dozen SOT23
variations covering metrics and all the other minor variations.)
Reflow
X+2E pad edges: 2.87mm
Z pad edges 2.82mm
Wave
X+2E pad edges: 2.87mm
Z pad edges 3.48mm
So your pattern and Philips would be very close for overall sizing.
There could be significant differences in the pad sizes by what I have seen
in the past for manufacturer's or others land patterns. SMT Plus follows
some pretty stringent rules for pad sizing and now, ten years after I took
the course, I still see SMT Plus following the same rules time and time
again in their new footprints.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.

Subject: Re: [PEDA] Philips Wave and Reflow Footprints(Ex:IPC Footprint
Standards)
As an example:
The SOT23 reflow footprint takes up 3.3x3 mm while the wave takes up
4.5x4.6mm.
The IPC standard has a 8x8!! placement courtyard. Like, yeah right. Someone
tell me this is a typo - at that size I may as well us a TO-92.
Taking the distance of the outer edge of a pad on one side of the SOT-23 to
the outer edge of the other pad (the IPC Z dimension):
Philips Reflow: 2.7mm
My footprint: 2.95 mm
IPC: 3.6mm
Philips Wave: 4mm
