Default Wingfield Postcard of Killebrew Question

I recently picked up this 1950s-1960s postcard from a seller who said it was "like new" - unfortunately, it's closer to VG, so I don't plan on keeping it - but my question has to do with the card's dimensions.

The Standard Catalog says these are 3.5 x 5.5, however mine is 3.5 x 5 5/16 (I also found one in an old eBay auction that describes it as 5 3/8 in length). The Standard Catalog photo and my example seem to "line up" perfectly, so my guess is that mine isn't trimmed and that the Catalog is in error.

Anyone else have one of these for comparison? Or does anyone know if these postcards in general simply aren't consistent in size, or if the Catalog is less than accurate for these types of issues? Thanks.
