As no-one replied and I had to measure to make my brackets, here are the measurements for the roof curvature:

Looks very nice to me. Probably better to install some spacers so the tray clears the roof otherwise with vibration the paint will wear down. The shortest Rhino brackets clear the roof just enough to be of no concern, luckily a local dealer let me test with some old stock to check fitment before purchase. Although I do like how close to the roof it sits with your shorter metal brackets. Are they custom from scratch or modified?

Brackets are full custom from 50mm x 3mm Galvanised Square Hollow Section, finished in Dulux MetalShield Satin Black.
(Which is why it's easy for me to make new feet, 10mm higher.)
For Rhino Feet I was looking at @$360. (3x RLTP@$109.00ea + 2x 10mm Spacers @$15ea)
Metal section (1mtr min purchase @$16, only needed 500mm), Stainless bolts, washers, $13 paint, TOTAL: $59.
Yes, it probably took me a day, but I'm not working at the moment, so no pay to compare against on a cost/time comparison.
(I have time & all the tooling to make the brackets, I don't have $$$.)
After looking over everything, this would be the measurements I would use if I started from scratch again:
