I have been using the screenshots as much as possible.
The angle of the stripes were laid out with a laser line from the side. I used the windshield and the body triangle in front of the door(just below windshield) to get the angle to use. Note: On my Jeep the windshield and the body angle are about 5' difference. I measured my windshield at 70' and the body angle at 75' . I tried both of these angles with known body points and my laser. If I used 75' and matched the bottom of the angle to the seam in the side step, then the line hit to far forward on the welded body seam. If I used 70' and the seam, then the angle hit too far back on the body seam. I also aligned the top of this stripe to what I believe made sense. The Top of this stripe edge should be 1/2 the distance of the windshield body angle, from the screenshots. In the below image I have drawn (crudely) where the difference angles ended up.
Black line is at same angle as windshield, and hits body seam too far back. White line is at same angle as the tub's triangle, and hits too far forward. The blue humps show the relationship of where the stripe hits the seam being 1/2 the length (1 vs 2 humps) of the bottom of the triangle.

I poured over the screenshots, and did some measuring, and this may be correct. from every image I pulled up the back stripe does measure smaller than the front stripe.
I highly recommend using a laser line or some other method to project from the side, as the body plays all sorts of tricks if you simply try to tape them up... I tried that initially on the back stripe, and once I got the laser line, I had to redo the back edge where it goes over the wheel flare.
