If I might be forgiven for last night's stupidity … Here's an another hypothesis:

Perhaps Parker Hale chose to use [almost] the full 'fundamental triangle' of a Whitworth thread-form; so as to give longer flanks to a thread which needs a precision fit.

As illustrated here [borrowed from Wikipedia];

the Whitworth truncation of the fundamental triangle is H/6 which, for 40tpi I calculate to be roughly 4 thou.

[someone please check this figure]

That would make a 'fully extended' version of the 7/32 40tpi thread

0.21875 + 0.008 = 0.22675 inches, outside diameter.

… a tiny rounding of the crest then takes us down to 0.225"

_______

As I have never examined the thread-form on a Parker Hale component; this is mere speculation … but I think it would merit investigation.
