Default 66 Armrest Width

I have two armrests that go go between the seats. They both appear to be original. One has a width of 4.25 to the piping and the other is 5 inches. Which is correct for a 66?? Thanks

Not sure if a 65 is the same as a 66 but my 65 has the 5".

If I hook the end of the tape over the side of the armrest, it measures just shy of 5" all the way across. Measuring between the piping, it's more like 4.5". Mine's a 66. Hope that helps.
