Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate dimensioned drawings for this beast--the title is misleading, because it's not exactly a Jason sounding rocket, but a 5-stage hypersonic test vehicle for measuring aerodynamic properties of various shapes. The blunt nose information went into the design of Mercury heat shields, among other things.
