I noticed you asked the same question in another thread, but I'll answer you here.
Yes, Optical Targeting Correction has the length of the ships in its Recognition Manual. The correct height and lengths are both given in the RM. OTC doesn't rely on using the mast height for determining ALL ships height. Some, as the following image shows, use the funnel as the stadimeter "reference point". Some other targets may use it's national flag as its reference point, or the top of its bridge; all ships are marked with a red pencil at its reference point, or have its national flag added to the picture to show where the reference point is.
As I pointed out earlier in this thread, just adding heights and lengths isn't enough to correct some of the inconsistency. Optical corrections need to be made to allow heights and lengths to measure accurately. If 3 feet doesn't add up to a yard then what's the purpose of having heights and lengths added to the game? They won't matter if the dimensions can't be measured in an accurate way.
