1940-1945: 4T
1945-1963: 1T
1963-1980: 2T
1980-2008: 3T
2008-2030: 4T again
In that example I am using John Xenakis's crisis war concept in which saecula are based on crisis wars. WW II is a crisis war. I am assuming that another one starts around 2030. Here I am dating the crisis from beginning of one Crisis War to beginning of the next Crisis War. So your scheme is appropriate except for the 2008-2030 turning which would NOT be a Crisis because the crisis war doesn't begin until 2030.
John still considers the fourth turning to end with the end of the crisis war, not to begin with the beginning of the crisis war. In the case of a 2030-2035 crisis war, the crisis period could extend from 2008-2035. The issue with the dates would be that the fourth turning ending in 1945 would have begun earlier, probably in 1929.
