Default 25 pounder rim question

Not sure where to put this one - it may be better in the armour section but of course the 25 pounders were towed by my favourite CMP types...
I was asked yesterday by a friend from the RSL about the rim size of 25 pounders - he said one of the RSL sub branches is restoring it's 25 pounder and managed to purchase two good 16" tyres for it only to find the rim size is not 6.00 but a quarter of an inch larger.
Does this make sense to anyone? I would have thought the 16" split rims were all the same size.
