I never saw more than one type, but I just made the same measurement on 
one in my basement and came up with 29mm.

I double-checked the microfilm and they list only one fan for all production 
type 3s, but there is a second fan in there listed for repairs only with a 
0.5mm oversize hub. I suspect that this is really an undersize hub to fit a 
crank that has been ground there. I hope I never run into one of those!

This sure makes me wonder what you have there. Are you sure it is a type 3 
fan?
