Yeah, I agree. The only way to determine the optimum alignment angles is to measure ride height first. But the numbers still look good.
As far as the side-to-side camber goes, it looks like lizem100 forgot to put the "-minus" sign in front of the R/R number.

Why are the number not exactly -.46? Is the adjustment not fine enough?

Any comments? Was the job well done? Why list tire pressures/ tread depth re alignment? They even listed tire size and brand- perhaps for analysis of ride quality.

Rear camber isn't adjustable, but don't worry about it. Adjusting the toe-in results in
slight changes in camber, and you're
barely out of spec. Like 'Doc says, the omission of the ride height check could result in specs' that are slightly off, but the numbers still look OK.
As far as fine adjustments are concerned, the "camber/caster bolt kit" only allows for finite adjustments. The adjustments can't be tweaked to perfection. MB has used this system since the early '90's on most models. It looks like your alignment shop installed both front caster bolts and possibly the L/F camber bolt.
There are two reasons for the additional tire information, and other information on the print-out sheet. First, depending on the alignment equipment, this information may be required to procede to the actual measurement/adjustment program. Second, it's a liability issue.
