OK these numbers are making more sense with David's correction. 

3 3/8"  or  85.725mm (from Karl's link)
3 1/2"  or  88.900mm (David's revision)

1 3/4"  or  44.450mm (from Karl's link)
2"       or  50.800mm (David's revision)
                

I took some measurements off the European towhitch on my Syncro and that came out to 3 1/2" on the horizontal. Just a wild guess but looking like the SA hitch has the same hole spacing as the Euro hitch.
