The number is stamped on the pinion gear. Mine says .12 and I measured .13

Actually, the +.12 that is etched into the face of the pinion is the variance from the "zero" position, and is used in computing the thickness of the shim that adjusts the pinion depth.
The good news is that by chance ".12" is within the range of .08-.14mm that is called out for the backlash, and so, in this case did not cause an error.
