If its FUBAR'd, take it apart and try to fix it.  You have nothing to lose and you will learn alot about how they are constructed.
 
And its fun!
 
Interesting that the first scope I took apart was a Tasco with a lifetime warranty that they wouldnt honor when the company sold.

Outside of the threads measure as above.  Scope was/is a world class 36x44 thats FUBAR'ed.  5" shade.  From your measurements it doesn't look like it will fit.

 SS scopes are threaded for the sun shade but they do not come with them.

Another thing to keep in mind is that most scopes made to accept a sun shade, come with a sun shade.

 
  I know you said "most" so why don't your's?

I have two Tasco varmint scopes, and I understand the difference between threads and non threads. Both my scopes are 42mm and have threaded rings that come off and do not hold the lens in place. I do not have a thread pitch gauge fine enough to determine what thread is on these scopes, and I have tried several other sunshades but I have have yet to find the right size. I am sure someone out there makes a sunshade that will fit these scopes, regardless of brand. I have no interest in a slip on sunshade. if I have to, i'll have a machine shop make me a couple, but this would be a last resort. If anyone has solved this problem, please let me know. And before anyone asks, I just want a sunshade for these scopes. If I have a dollar for everytime a so-called gun expert told me what I dont need or want to do, I could buy a new timney trigger!
