Well a lot depends on type setting ..... my editions take it up to about 175 in paperback and small type - I think there is more in HoME and CT is likely to be thorough with his notes and appendices ..but a change of font could account for a lot...

And add in 8 colour plates & 25 b&w illustrations.......that's another 30 odd pages.....
