Used Ivory Keytops

Hello All,

I recently purchased a quick kit of field repair ivory heads and tails from Walker Piano and am pleased with them.
I unfortunately neglected to measure the tops on the upright I am servicing that I had ordered the replacement heads for, and found these vintage tops to be nearly 1/4" too long! They match perfectly my babygrand Wurlitzer at home. 
Are upright ivories uniformly smaller than grand ivories? Are there only two sizes one finds or is there a great variance from piano to piano.

Long story short, I need a kit of 5 or 6 upright ivory keytop replacement heads. Any suppliers out there?

Thanks!

Greg
