Measurements that should work are:
axle flange to flange
From  housing end to end where the backing plate bolts.
These will give us total widths

from bearing flange to control arm brackets - upper and lower     
How wide is the spacing of the brackets
pinion offset - measurement from end to pinion each side should get this

Can't think of much else except a pic would be usefull also.

If I'm missing something please feel free to add

These will at least give us any differences year to year. We could then narrow down the selection of housings needed to use as examples for angles
Thanks

It's raining here today so I'll have to measure it another day.  curse  I'll get it as soon as I can.

When I was talking to Scarebird about making a rear disc brake conversion kit they told me that the housings were the same from
like 1960 - 1967 or something close to that.  Maybe they meant for the purposes of a disc brake bracket but there may be other
differences that wouldn't matter to them (like suspension mounting points).  But I think you'll find that they are very close.
