OK, for my 58 mm wide belt (somewhere between 2.25 and 2.5 inches wide), the straight part of the bulge is 18 mm wide and it's 20 mm centre-to-centre between the long bar through the belt, and the short bar in the bulge.
Looking at my collection of 4 buckles, all have hooks about 15-16 mm wide (which engage with the bulge when the buckle is worn) and the hook is always 20 +- 1 mm from the edge of the buckle.
Hope this helps
(later...)
Reading this back, I'm not sure that I've been clear here. On the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words, here (hopefully) is a dimensioned image which will make things clearer....
Note that the 58 mm dimension is the length of the straight bar excluding curves. Width across the edges of the curves is about 64 mm
Is this what you wanted?
Best regards
