Strenth and Stiffness of 1x diagonal floor sheathing??

I’m working on an existing building built in Orange County around 1920 (or so). I need to determine the strength and stiffness of the floor diaphragm.

 

I know that the four term APA equation probably doesn’t apply, but if not that, then what should I use instead?

 

TIA,
