I have 4 of these types and they are all about 35.5mm give or take a very small amount. I agree that our catalog is probably wrong but I cant be that precise because I don't have a caliper.

Edit. The 1912s is a highly desirable date so be very careful about quality counterfeits.
Not sure if this is helpful, but the Red Book gives a diameter of 35 mm.
