The 7/16" in Halfrauds will be AF , where the 7/16" is the distance across the flats , hence AF. This is applicable to Unified threads as in UNF , UNC and is the most common Imperial standard seen in the USA. Whitworth sizing however refers to the thread diameter. So , 7/16" there would be the diameter of the bolt or stud thread therefore the across flats dimension would be much bigger.
That isn't the end of Imperial standard (sic) diversity though , there are also , Gas thread , BA thread , Cycle thread , Machine thread , etc , etc , etc !!! I have a text book on almost all the threads in the World and you wouldn't comprehend the amount and variety of threads and standards !!
