Length of pull is very dependent on one thing: the grip type and shape, which dictates where you grasp the gun with your trigger hand, and the resulting distance from that point to the trigger, known as the "reach", which also determines the distance to the butt. Just as important, as Larry mentioned, is where the trigger is positioned inside the guard

Based on your height and it being a field gun, I would say shorten it to 14 1/2, especially since it isn't original wood.

L.o.p. should have been re-defined a long time ago as the distance from the middle of the grip where your palm hits it, to the butt.
