The TRP doesn't really have a point, it's a blunt contoured knob sorta thing, made to fit the hand. From what I'll call the middle of that knob, I measure 8cm. From the last groove on the rubber of the hood(where the webbing of your hand would be), it's 7cm. I have a set of all black I'd sell you but frankly I think you're better off getting a set from a seller on ebay as they include the shipping. That's how I got them. There's a number of sellers of the black ones, here's one https://www.ebay.com/itm/204700099392?. I've ordered from that seller before so no it's fine.
To confirm what Ryan said, the plain RRL is a solid lever, the SR is drilled. I've never seen the SR in all black.
