Will be very interested to learn where the two rainfall gadgets are
positioned in view of some VERY close rainfall totals by other

Exactly 2m apart. The AWS's tipping bucket rim is 1.80m above the
ground.


.... but presumably the standard gauge is at ground level?

Also, have you had time to perform a check on the AWS gauge by passing
a measured volume of water through it?
