It's not totally clear to me what info you are looking for exactly. If you are looking for general qualitative info, I guess I will offer that I believe you when you claim that the second hand tires you have bought were a touch undersized. I've seen some Compass and Rene Herse tires a touch undersized, and some over sized, and some spot-on. If you are asking us to guarantee that all RH tires for all time are always 3-5mm undersized, then my feedback is "No, in my experience that is not the case".
The oversized tire I can remember was a 40.5mm Barlow Pass, nominally 38mm. My current Barlow Pass tires (622x38) and Bon Jon Pass tires (622x35) are close enough to each other that I consider them interchangeable, indistinguishable. The most "spot-on" tires in my current stable are my Umtanum Ridge (584x55) and Switchback Hill (584x48).
