Wavefunction Comparison Question

The major challenge issued by the PAC seems to be to more clearly show why Azz is a better observable than the unpolarized case for determining information on the deuteron wave function. In particular, I think it would be helpful to show how our measurement could compare to one similar to this plot from PRL 108, 092502 (2012):

To attempt a comparison, I took the wavefunctions as listed in Misak's proceedings from the tensor workshop:

and attempted to add a plot of Azz, where I just took the distributions of the unpolarized and tensor-polarized case for each WF and put them into Azz=2*(pol-unpol)/unpol:

However, I'm unsure of the validity of this method, and also how it would change between Pzz=+1 and Pzz=-2, since that should change the result but at the moment I don't know how to incorporate it into this plot.
