The difference of sun to the noon is at maximum 16m 33s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time)


You need to multiply by 2 because it's drifting both before and afterwards, hence a little over 30 minutes of total drift.


For the question of the symmetry, only the difference to the noon point is relevant.
