I have/had, 250's, 350's, 450's, 550's.. The axle to rear is the same regardless of single, duals, short, long, naked, dressed, polka dots or political affiliation.

The 'need glasses' comment back at 'cha.... :)

You make broad statement on your limited experience.
You are right that Ford lists all rear overhangs at 52", what leaves about 50" for cab to axle, but F550 are also coming with about 80" cab to axle.
The white truck seem to have the 50/50 box, but I keep measuring the front of the box to rear overhang of new DUALLY trucks and no matter what picture I take, it is coming like 64/36.
Would probably take a visit to a dealer with tape measure to check it, but put your tape measure on this picture.

Update. Went to Ford dealer to see dually I like and took tape measure with me.
This is what I measure.
The rear overhang from axle to end of the bumper is in fact 52" but the bumper alone is 9" and tailgate thickness about 5".
So on the picture above the bumper is barely visible, while comparing to bed floor the axle is placed like 60/38".
With hitch sticking behind bumper the proportion might not make big difference, but that design gives me much better weigh distribution with camper -comparing to older trucks.
Took quick look at shortbed, and the axle is at about 45% of bed floor.
