Pool Installation Issues

I am installing a 15x30 AGP. This is the 3rd pool I have installed myself. Our first was a 15x30 oval, the pool this is replacing was a 27' round. We got the pool used last summer - we knew that we were taking the 27' pool down in the fall. The seller did not know the brand and did not have the instructions. I found the instructions for my first pool and used those dimensions to lay out the blocks for the legs. I ran into two problems yesterday. The first is with the outside end of the legs aligned with the edge of the block the dimension across the pool is 12" too short. I rechecked all my string lines and they are accurate to the instructions I have, so the problem is the legs are a slightly different design. I think the bottom edge is longer on the outside of the leg. The other problem is the legs are too far apart. The metal plates that go between the legs I can see where they were mounted to the legs. Unlike the previous pool I had they attach so the legs land in the middle of each plate and the plates overlap and are screwed together between the legs. My previous pool the ends of the plates landed on each leg. This pool where I spaced the legs they don't line up with the marks on the plates. The legs are too far apart so the bottom wall track pieces that go between the legs are too short based on the leg spacing right now.

I will need to reset the blocks. I can get the dimensions measuring the plates but would prefer the instructions if possible. Is there any way to identify the maker of the pool? The top rail is metal not plastic.

Thanks. From that link it looks like the Garden Leisure Equinox, but I will go look at the parts to make sure.
 
I was able to find the installation instructions for the pool I have. AT least I am pretty sure. I will measure some things to make sure. It gives the spacing for the legs. This pool has 4 legs per side. Is it safe to assume the legs are spaced equally each side of the center line across the width of the pool? My old pool had dimensions from the pins you set at each end of the pool to mark the center line along the length. You set those pins and those are the outside corners of the outside legs on each side. These instructions don't have that. I am thinking I can mark the center line across the width and space the legs equidistant each side from that.
The instructions are here:
