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.

In your photos the diameter of the command module cone looks much less than that of the service module cylinder, that was all.
Great model though
Mike
