Are all HR spacers the same length?

Some measurements (from FC, I'm sorry, but I think the parts carried over unchanged to EK)

Front crossmember bolt : 1/2" UNF x 5-1/2" (1/4" longer than HR)
"Front" long spacer tube: 3.635" long
"Rear" long spacer tube: 3.70" long.

Makes me think that what I thought was an HR front crossmember spacer tube, wasn't.
