Some size variance is normal. I have never found physical size to be a particularly good indicator of trimming as a result (except in egregious cases). Even today, cards are not exactly the same size. If you take a stack of even 2019 Topps, you can see on close examination that they are all a slightly different size, slight but visible to the naked eye if you look carefully. This is even more true for vintage. 1954 and 1955 Bowman I have especially found to vary greatly in size, from post-war sets.
