Yep, that's the ones!  I'd recommend this as a
good starting point for "cheap" fig-8.

My gut feel says that to get close to a mathematically
correct cardiod pattern from a WM-55, you need to have
some acoustic path to adjust the signal arriving at the
back ports.  Can anyone confirm or refute my guts?

If so, a vertical tube (eg. square brass) could provide
the extended acoustical back-path, and would provide an
interesting mechanical design challange to get the diaphragms
aligned vertically with putting too much junk in front
of the two capsules.
