The jersey is going to measure wider when laid flat, vs. around a human body or mannequin. The depth of a body or mannequin will cause the width (on a one dimensional surface like a photo) to appear shorter.
I doubt that accounts for the full difference in this case, but could conceivable explain such a discrepancy.
As for the sleeves, I don't think they were shortened. The end-of-sleeve button holes appear to be perfectly placed as original, and HA would've (should've) had to disclose that. So I'm also in the camp that this is not the same jersey as pictured.
