Flag staff dimensions

Has anyone studied (whether from any extant originals, contract specifications, or supply/requisition documents) the dimensions of the "standard" CSA flag staff used for infantry regimental colors, especially with respect to length? I see, for example, in Mort Kuenstler's paintings a long thin pole (perhaps of 16 feet or so?), by contrast with the shorter lengths (and possibly larger diameter) seen in most others.
