I have not looked at the set in question.
Normally you would measure the stamp outer frame line to outer frame line, not including the perfs or space between perf tips and frame line.
In the case of Nr 341 measure between the edges of grey, in 342 I would measure the white surround to the design, not the grey.
Let us know how it works out.
I need size perf to perf, all sizes in StampWorld and Colnect are perf to perf, this set of two however are diamond shaped so not sure how they have been measured. They could be the same size as the Swiss issue???

I would surmise that they are the square measurements as the sheets were issued as square. This is the "normal size" for a lot of the British square commemoratives of recent years, in which case the diagonal measurement is a fraction under 50mm.
Square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares on the other two sides in a right angled triangle.
Ie, 35x35 + 35x35 = 2450, the square root of which is 49.497.
Probably doesn't help, but it's fun.

re: Size of Aland stamp please
As an ex-high school teacher of 34 years it's great to see the occasional bit of math!!
Someone on another site asked Aland Post directly for me and they confirmed the size on the 2016 Nordic cuisine stamp measures 35mmx32mm, there was a typo on their site which will be corrected.

Non-denominated stamps are designated Lokalpost, Inrikes, Europa, Världen or Julpost. The terms were introduced in 2008. The value of non-denominated stamps increases when postage tariffs increase. The terms equal a pre-set postage value as follows:
Lokalpost (local mail): priority mail within Åland, max. weight 50 gram.
Inrikes (domestic): priority mail to Finland, max. weight 50 gram.
Europa (Europe): Priority mail to the Nordic countries and Europe, max. weight 20 gram.
Världen (the world): Priority mail to international destinations, max. weight 20 gram.
Julpost (Christmas postage): Christmas greetings to destinations in Åland, Finland and Sweden, max. weight 20 gram, at a reduced rate during a limited period of time in November and December. The stamps may be used as postage the entire year. The postage value of the stamp is based on the most recent Christmas postage tariff.
