Windshield chrome help

Is there a difference in the 68-72 A-body windshield chrome in a sedan vs hardtop? I know the convertible is different. And IF there is a difference does anybody have the correct lengths.

The Sport Coupe (2dr post) and Holiday Coupe (2dr HT) are the same. The 4dr and wagon are different.

Eric,
I'm sure you probably do this, but I always have a sharpie marker with me at the yard or when I'm processing a car. I label every piece of stainless with the year, model, & position on the car on every piece of stainless & some other parts like headlight housings, headlight buckets, bumper brackets, wheel well moldings, etc.... Too many parts to rely on the memory!!

I actually have several sets and as I was going through them I noticed a small difference in length. I have some that measure 50" and others that measure 50 1/4". The only problem with that is, I have only parted 1 4 door car and the rest have been 2 dr hardtops.

Does anyone know what the correct lengths are both? I was told there was a 1/2" difference, but I only come up with a 1/4"?
