Does anyone know the correct front tracking settings for a Jaguar XK120 ?

I took the car to get it tracked today and they only had the settings for a 150, i wondered if its the same ?

The 150 is as follows....
Front
Left camber 0.45
Right camber 0.45
Left caster 1.45
Right caster 1.45
Total toe 0.08

As i say this is for a 150, wondered if the 120 was the same ? cant seem to find it online....
Thanks for your help guys.

The factory service manual is a bit of pain to use but probably worth having. A quick hunt online shows it costs more than I remember and is paperback now whereas the one I bought when I bought my 150 was a nice green hardback edition. The XKClub also have it and the all the other XK documents as a CD. I used to find the exploded parts diagrams the most useful bits, but Guy Broad's site has many of these with some additions to the original annotations.

Keep in mnd that those values were set for cross ply tyres 70 years ago.
