Default Compression Ratio Calculations, Cosworth F'UP or mine?

Can't figure this one out. I've generated my own CR calculator and checked it against an online calculator. I've CC'ed the pa2688 pistons and have the dome as an advertised -2.83 cc (as per Cosworth documention) however when I work out the static CR I get a low 9.744:1 (with stock heads) or 9.42 with Cosworth heads. Whereas PA2688 are documented at 10.3:1. I wondered if someone could check my calcs and tell me where I'm going wrong.

What's also of interest is the Wiseco 11:1 CR pistons have an identacal deck height but a +7cc dome. My calculator works the Wiseco's to be 11.08:1 CR.
