Hi Ed:
I was kind of hoping someone else would pitch in here, since I know diddly about Edison phonographs. I was, however, able to find a few online references to Edison cabinet dimensions, and the one's you've posted are pretty close.
According to one site, for instance:
"The EDISON C-250 CHIPPENDALE (Official Laboratory Model) Disc Phonograph introduced in December 1915 is a full upright cabinet finished in semi-gloss or brown mahogany and various oaks. There is a distinctive Chinese card cut design above the grill surrounding the cabinet. The wooden grille is French Gothic.
Dimensions are 51 1/16" high, 21" wide and 22½" deep. Metal parts are gold plated. The initial US List price as its name would suggest was $250."
