Arab Platen Rollers

I have a c1950 Arab Foolscap Folio in very good condition, but missing its Rollers and Roller Stocks (cores). I can get a set made but I need to know the dimensions. Can anyone tell me the diameter and length of the Covers, also all the dimensions for the Roller Stocks.
I have a set of Runners (trucks) measuring 41.3mm diameter, 22mm wide. Are these sizes correct for the 9x13 Foolscap Folio? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
