I have been trying to get some info on kukri blade cross sections, a lot of side views available but no measured cross sections. Has anyone seen any somewhere?

TIA

Here is what I have (measured above the bolster):
Left to right
21" Gelbu Special - .445"
18" AK - .42"
18" M43 - .36"
18" Baby Ganga Ram - .38"
18" Sirupati - .38"
16" Chiruwa AK - .38"
16.5" WWII - .36"
14" BDC - .310"
16" BQM kukri - .262"

It's worth noting that the HI blades gradually lose width as you move towards the tip.
The non-HI. on the far right. has a ricasso and drops thickness after it to .20"
For comparison, here it is next to the karda of the 18" AK:
