Wow Mike, what an eye for detail you must have.
I checked the NASA specs (divide by 144) and it appears at first that you are right. [Spec:3.5m/144=24.3mm v model length is 18mm]
But then, looking at the technical drawings, it is not clear to me if the forward and aft Boost Protective Cover are included in the specs (3.5m command module length).
Because on my photo of the model, they are removed, still attached to the LES (Launch Escape System) tower. [as seen in photo 5 & 7 OP].
If you include that it brings it back to (144 scale) specs for length and diameter.
