Let me try again.
How is this 'maximum deviation' value of ~0.5 ppm determined? What assumptions were made in that determination?

That value was merely considering that the absolute motion measured to the CMB by different methods over several years has varied from 280km/sec to around 360km/sec. I used 300km/sec as a general number wich is 0.001c gamma for that is 1.0000005.
But it is important to note that the absolute motion will have a greater impact on tests if the test is pushed a near as possible to a v = c. That should be clear now from my prior post where 0999c particles would have a 0.001 deviation due to the added motion to the CMB when orientation is changed.
