Footman loop for shovel position M 38

Good morning,
could anyone tell me the distance between the footman loops fixing the shovel (M 38). I could find the diagram but no callout (specification) of the distance of the holes of the loops.
Thank you!
Uwe

Hi!! My "51 m-38 tub is off the jeep and sandblasted. I can take a
closeup photo then dimension it if you still need the info..

I have the measurements somewhere. Will have to search for them. Be careful. There are two locations for the handle strap loops. Some had one slightly forward, one slightly aft or some even had both.

READING YOUR REPLY, WES, GOT ME SECOND GUESSING MY OWN
HOLE PLACEMENTS. THERE WERE NO PIONEER TOOLS OR LOOPS
ATTACHED WHEN I GOT THE 51 M-38, JUST THE HOLES.
THE 2 FRONTMAN LOOP HOLES DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE AXE HEAD SHEATH APPEAR TO DRILLED-NOT PUNCHED.
(IGNORE THE PENCIL LINES, THEY FLAG BODY WORK TO BE DONE).
AS ALWAYS, THX FOR THE INPUT..RICK
