Air cleaner decal

Just picked up this used W-25 air cleaner base and lid. The decal I ordered for it is smaller than the original though. Anyone else hav this issue or who is best source for correct size decal?
this one came from Olds Parts for reference.

I have never understood most reproduction parts. Seems 95% of them are only "close" to the original. If you are going to set-up tooling to produce anything, why wouldn't make it 100% authentic? Even the wording on the sticker isn't as crisp as the original. Good luck in your search.

If I had not had the old and new to compare I would certainly not known it was the wrong size…

it is a shame that they can’t get something that simple correct…
