I personally don't know what is/should be correct (other than what I wrote above). Nonetheless, it's a website definitely worth checking out. The owner of the site is very friendly and has answered some questions for me in the past.

The photo on the first link is from original NII VVS trials doc (at least I have the same in copy of doc). By description in doc about work of gauges - 120 with the link to original German manual (one of the 109th that Russians boght before the war directly from Germany with permision of Hitler).

We will keeep 120 (as well as this gauge also present in other docs for production line of 109th - samples) untill the time when will be more info accessible. At the moment I think there was 120 limit in this gauge for the E series and maybe later it was changed by 160 on final E7 and then F.
