OK, I guess that answers it, since it's apparently not 27mm. Should be quite obvious from Ranfft. You can also ask the Longines archive folks, assuming they're working.
Here's a few with the same regulator: https://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=msg&th=1031044&rid=0 http://chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/index.cgi?md=read;id=83844 These regulators seem to appear more often on the 23M center-seconds variant like the one above. I couldn't tell you what the technical difference of the regulator is though. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could chime in.
We are talking about an era where shock protection was becoming more common, so earlier movements are more likely to be unprotected, and after a certain point nearly all Longines movements had shock protection. But there may also have been a transitional period where shock protection was selectively added to higher end watches. I haven't made a detailed study of it.
