The data in the .cfg is the one used in the ID book and I think used for range calculations by the stock stadimeter system, but it has no effect on the actual model.
The most notable example was the small freighter with its indicated mast height of 39 metters I think when it was actually more like 24 (don't remember exactly). To have exact data you'd need to export the 3D models, "build" the ships in a 3D studio and measure everything.
If you want to correct the lit ships data in the ID book you just have to copy the data from the regular ships' .cfg files.
The "log" files are indeed only used in the museum, as far as I know they have no effect whatsoever.

Right on Mikhayl
