Need help determining if mpc is for contra-alto or contra-bass

Hoping that someone has one or the other that they could provide a simple measurement of. I have a Selmer Paris C* mpc that was sold to me as a bass clarinet piece, but it is definitely too big for bass. I'm not sure if it is for contra-alto or contra-bass though. I would imagine the shank diameters are different on these, so that would probably be the easiest way to make a determination. The outer diameter of my shank is 35.5mm. If anyone could help in confirming what this is for, I'd sure appreciate it!

Most likely a BBb contrabass mouthpiece, according the info here:
