I don't have it, but it looks more like 5 x 3 x 3?
Looking at the images on stud plate.

4x4x2 is correct, if you look at it the right way

I was thinking that...
Also if your picture is correct for shape etc, the pictures in the catalogue
are mis-leading - but i suppose any piece can be in any orientation !!

Yep. Some pieces have a “natural”¹ orientation (studs up…) but not all.
For bricks, it’s easy to find a “up”/height, and it’s logical¹ to use brick as
a unit because they are in multiple of plates/bricks.
For Technic Liftarms & Panels, Bionicle, etc., it’s not easy to define a “up,”
and it’s weird¹ to say 1 2/3 bricks when you’ll generally be using 2 modules
(other Technic parts, like pins or beams) in that axis, not plates & bricks.
¹ Yes, I’m flirting with the “call to nature” fallacy but, well, some measures
lends themselves more easily to some units. (And, yes, that seems inconsistent
with my stance on imperial units but I know what studs & bricks are, while I
rarely have a horse or salted ice at hand  )
