Because that's ((-40.49511,-19.33101,-27.46092) + 
(-2.163608,19.76925,11.64881)) / 2.

I.e. what Poseray calls the object's center is actually the center of 
the smallest axis-aligned box that fits the object. 3DS max may have 
different ideas what the center actually is, e.g. the average of all 
vertices, or center of gravity, or whatever. You should consult your 3DS 
max documentation about this.

Looks like 3DS max exports dimensions in inches - at least in this case. 
(100 cm are about 39.37 inch, which is pretty close to what Poseray 
reports for size.)
