Did some back of the envelope calculations for the radius of curvature of our spherical mirrors, and with the help of the alternate segment theorem at this page, measuring x and y with a ruler got me r, the radius of curvature.
For the Acrilconvex mirror, 2x = 56 cm, y = 14.5 cm, so r = ( (28)^2 / 14.5 + 14.5 ) / 2 = 34.3 cm
For the Vialux mirror, 2x = 56 cm again, but y = 12 cm, so r = ( (28)^2 / 12 + 12 ) / 2 = 38.7 cm
