Default Front Hub Differences???

Did they ever change the diameter of the front hubs? Not in where the wheel actually located but out past that towards the dust cap?
I'm wondering if it got smaller in 78/79 or 80 type of thing

(listings show 69-82 all the same so I guess not...)

68 is the same as the 67 so the bearing diamter is smaller, I didnt think they changed after that. Keen parts only shows one https://keenparts.com/corvette-parts...440460&year=C3

That's kind of what I came up with.
One of the four new centers I bought (3-bar spinner type) didn't fit over the hub far enough to let the wheel fully seat... stopped short by about 1/8" and I was wondering if they were smaller at some point in time

Just another quality part
