I'm afraid I can't help you directly, and with my system, df and du
behave more like you would expect. The ideas I did have seemed a bit
too straightforward to myself. Anyway, allow me to ask one or two
questions to get it clearer:

Have you also tried running it on / ("du -s /")?
> If I run the df command, I get a total OS size of 55mb.
Hmm. Maybe it uses a block size of 512 Bytes instead of 1024 (see the
manpage)? Although 55 instead of 44 is still a considerable
deviation ...

Have you also checked this by saying "mount" without any arguments?
Come to think of it, I suggest you post the output of "du -s /", the
output of "df", and the output of "mount" (together with the exact
commandline you used) - that way it's easier to see how you have
calculated your figures.
