Odd that they're not centred on the panel...
... or evenly spaced. :?

Maybe this person was demonstrating how badly his script had been mounted and was asking for the correct layout.
I've not studied this in any detail—yet—but type should be spaced optically, not mathematically, so the diagram could well be correct.

The kerning, yes, but not the lack of centring on the panel itself. Admittedly, only 1.5mm across the full width once corrected but, as Mrs C sighs far too often, that extra 1.5mm on the width could make all the difference.
