Twyford's, and Ideal Standard/armitage shanks have all the dimensions on their websites (for Ideal Standard / Armitage Shanks see https://www.thebluebook.co.uk). Both sites had 2-dimensional to-scale CAD drawings of their products. You can download a suitable viewer for free (google on the file format required - e.g DXF) . You usually have to set the scaling to a known dimension then you can use the ruler tools of your free CAD viewer to extract the dimensions your interested in. Much more simple than it sounds.
When i was looking for suitable toilets for our bathroom i had various limitations in depth and width and soil pipe position plus i wanted highish pan as i have troubles rising from a seat. The online CAD diagrams of these two manufacturer's proved very useful!
In the end i went for a Twyford Galerie Back-to-wall toilet with a Ideal Standard Conceala2 concealed cistern housed in a bespoke toilet cabinet which i designed and buit myself (well my Dad manufacturered the parts and i screwed it all together) to use the space as effectively as possible. TBH i'd probably go for a close-coupled toilet if i were to do it again for less hassle but in my case it would have still meant making some boxing in behind it because of the position the soil pipe entered the floor.

Check the flush mechanism. I had a new bathroom fitted a couple of years back with a small toilet and the flush power is puny. If the idea is saving water, it doesn't work as you usually need several flushes!.0

What a fascinating thread. This site never ceases to amaze me with the breadth of issues discussed. I always assumed that toilets were more or less a standard size. I'll try to appreciate my 50 year old comfy one more in future.0

not sure if you are still looking, but I have just stumbled across this and thought it might be worth considering??
