.
The NBR records are correct, The Tenor Dia is 31 3/16".
The Old bells were tested on 12 June 1924. No weights were given but with comments:
>From G&J Tuning Book 1, p9&103) Badly worn at clapper, 2 holes at big centres in crown.
2) Cut flat on Sound-bow. Modern bell.
1) Chipped by hand. Modern bell.

AAJB.

  Dove and the NBR give
        1 3-2-19 1316.5 E 26.00 " 1924 Gillett & Johnston  
        2 4-1-8 1186.5 D 28.00 " 1924 Gillett & Johnston  
        3 6-0-0 1049.5 C 31.19 " 1924 Gillett & Johnston 


  the Whitechapel report of 24 September gives the weights as 
  1, 3-2-0
  2, 4-1-14
  3, 5-3-0, diameter 2' 7 1/8"

  Is there any way of resolving which weights are correct?
  I suspect the difference in tenor diameter is a trivial "typo" in the NBR.
