The size of the figures varies depending on when they were stamped, the original size of the stamps, and the mood of the stamper when he took the stamp out of his toolbox... and how hard they were struck with the hammer...

In other words, the only thing consistent about the numbers are most guns stamped at the same time, had SIMILAR size stamps. There is no "correct" size. It just had to fit the part being stamped...
