Default question on slantnose square headlights

I am ready to purchase some sqaure headlight for my slantnose. I always thought it's 6 x 4 but I found that there is also 6.5 x 4. This makes me wonder enough to take a measument of my headlight.

My headlight is the Seal Beam 2A1 and measured to be 6.25 x 4. It has the aluminum ring around it. I know this ring will make me have to buy the exact size. If it's not exact size, then the ring won't fit on it.

Any thought?

These are what I found:

it is probably a standard 6x4. why not visit a flaps & make a direct comparison w/ an off-the-shelf replacement?

ice,
no it's not. It's a conversion. It look normal just like factory, not like those with heavily mods. Here is a nice pic I took before some small detail mods.:
