Can't be by much given that you'd expect the axle to road distance to

I can drop the pressure back to 31 and measure the drop of the axle,


Yes please.

certainly it was visibly more than 0.4%, of course I won't be inside the
car adding weight while I measure it ...


Sounds like a relatively heavy vehicle given the 39 psi tyre pressure so
that
may not matter much.
