Wild guess here but if the guy you talked to grabbed a tape or caliper and went out back to measure one, usually the sheet metal doesn't have an exposed edge to measure. It's either welded to itself in back, or reinforced with thicker bar around the opening. They mighta been measuring the reinforcement thickness instead.
