The last dry dock is not the PD (PlavDoka - dry dock)-50, that's the dry dock that's being used at Sevmash to shield any new subs from unwanted satellite viewers. You can see it inside the docks, moored just next to the building hall.

To be honest I think these docks would be rather easy to spot on Google Earth for measurements. Not sure what something like that would look like below the waterline though. For more official measurements you could check the site of Sevmash shipyard, perhaps they provide the measurements of the dock (I remember seeing something like that, although I'm not sure if it was Sevmash' site).
Anyway there's lots and lots of pictures of it available. Not meant to be pics of the dock of course, but of the ships inside, they do however give a nice view of the details and lots of reference points to measure out parts and details around the dock.
