Default Relationship of rear wheel camber to rear toe in?

Does anyone know the relationship of rear camber changes to toe in on the rear wheels of a C2? In other words we change the rear camber from 1 degree negative to O degrees camber. What amount does this change the toe in (or toe out) ? Seems there would be some effect but does anyone know the approximate (or exactly) what the toe setting would now read. I am guessing there would be a change to more toe out? Any idea how to quantify that number? A head scratcher!

Here is the rear suspension geometry chart from Zora's SAE paper from 1963.
