I had always thought they were the same until I purchased a scrap gas tank panel that came off a 1963 and realized they were different from my 1966. Sometime between 1963 -1966 the size of the rib decreased.
Its a mystery when this transition happened so I can only tell you what I learned so far.
1963 and older - 15.25cm (6")
1964-65 - size unknown (maybe people with those year singles can comment)
1966 and newer - 12.7cm (5")
**I measured from the outside point of the pressing, its a smaller measurement for the pressing itself.
So for a 1957 you need the larger rib like the example you provided. In this first picture, it would be the top one.
