Then either my scales are on the low side (can't tell SWMBO!), or yours are on the high side (perfect gift for your SWMBO). ;)
But seriously, there seems to be several incarnations of the type 12x dish. the type 120 is the Rx only, and probably the most common one. (Those are the ones I have).
The Rx/Tx versions (122, 123 and 125) seems to come with differing reflectors (different pattern of ribs in the back), sporting varying feed-arm sets and Az/El mounts.
As your dish is tooway dish, i specualte you may have a 122 or 123, with a more substantial Az/El mount, and/or potentially a different reflector and feed-arm configuration.
its the standard channel master 1.2m RX face with RX boom arms and the AZ-EL from a 1m tooway dish. i have both but the 1.2m doesnt have the 76mm AZ-EL mount as i got it with the polar mount. all this being said its not advisable to use a usals motor with a gibby 1.25m or CM 1.2m although people do with some success at ground level in sheltered locations
