Cannondale wise, my friend had an old CAAD 3 62CM, it would only fit a 23mm tire. I never could understand how it rode so nice for fat alloy pipes and 23s at pressure...
I will have to measure the tires. They are on relatively narrow rims (Protons) so that may make them taller than they would be on wide rims. Still interesting (any annoying) that in the rear the pads are at or near the bottom of the slot while being about in the middle at the front. I'm not sure who was making the forks circa 2010. Earlier forks had been made by Advanced Composites and Time.

Funny you should mention CAAD3, as I have a 1998 CAAD3 R4000 on which I have 28 mm Super Sport 100s. They may measure narrow, as they are a pretty old tire. They are on narrow rims that measure 2 mm narrower than Protons at the brake track.
