Here the pics from the manual, it looks like they installed an OEM latch as described in their requirements. The holes look pretty much the same, but as you said the measurements were totally off, then I believe it won't fit my Z-Top either.

Here's what I have. I remember why it wouldn't fix. On the factory latch the mechanism is on the back, the side against the roof. On mine its on the front and its flat on the back. I'm just glad I had both factory latches available to try. If not I know I would of bought them because Id have to know. I also need to paint my latch and buy a handle.

Hey I just realized that the latch in your pic is not a latch like mine has. Both my tops have a larger and thicker latch similar to this pic��. That may work ��
I dont think that's a Boxster latch, or not like Ive seen. How much is it??

Also how did you get a manual???? All i got awesome copies that explained nothing in detail. That's why I was bugging you �� Here's what I have.

The one you posted is to a newer Boxster. $265 US. I'm betting it will work.
