Pentax or Takumar F 70-200 (non SMC) size

I have a doubt about the dimensions of Pentax F 70-200 1:4-5.6 zoom lens. In PentaxForums and KMP database the listed lenght is 99mm. My copy have about 115mm when fully retracted (zoom and focus rings). What is correct? Does my copy have a assembly problem?

I have also the SMC Pentax-F 70-210, which is 99 mm long in both databases and is really smaller that the non SMC 70-200.

I had one of those 70-200 non SMC lenses maybe 12 years ago and that's what I remember - they did not retract as much. I probably took photos to document that for my eBay auction but I might not have kept them. There's also a non-SMC 70-210 and they all look nearly the same.

Edit: found it. You can see it set to 70mm and infinity, and the front barrel projects more than the SMC Pentax-F 70-210.
