Is there overlap between lines in the walls/perimeters ?

And I don't mean between infill and walls.

I'm trying to calibrate my printer (sidewinder X1), already did the e-steps procedure and printed a test cube.

https://3dprintbeginner.com/flow-rate-calibration/

This is my 'rough and fast' profile, I print with a .6 nozzle with a linewidth of 0.75 and a height of 0.5mm

I would expect the walls of the testcube being 2x0.75 = 1.5 mm (2 lines of 0.75mm)

But they are smaller. When I see this in the slicer:

Then my question is: is there some kind of overlap ? Because in the slicer is stated: 2 lines = 1.39mm and I expect 1.5mm ?

I can only find an overlap value between infill and walls, but not between lines in the walls or perimeters it self.

Hope the question is clear.

Found the answer, important to know for calibration of the extrusion multiplier:

I sometimes switch between Cura and Prusaslicer, does anyone know if Cura does this in the same way ?
