Tyre height

Wondering if anyone can tell me the height from top of rim to top of tyre for a Michelin Pro4 28mm?
I have a fixed wheelset with Open Pro rims and a geared set on Archetype. I have measured Litheon and Pro4 tyres, both 25mm, on both wheelsets:
– on the Archetypes, both tyres were 25mm high and 28mm wide.
– on the Open Pros, both were 25mm high and 26mm wide.
So can I guess that the 28mm version are 28mm high?
I used Michelin ultralight innertubes with the Pro4 tyres on both wheelsets and they felt quite a bit more comfortable and smoother than the Litheons with standard inners.
I'm interested in trying the 28mm Pro4 but if they are too tall, they'll be a tight fit at the brake bridge of my frame. The width isn't the problem, just potentially the height.

As long as the brand and model are the same that's a reasonable assumption.....0
