That's the general issue with thought, not always to correct conclusions it doth lead!
The cheesy tuners are only 1 3/4" wide (the ones in Rob's pic almost 2"), they seem larger because the (my?) Newport headstock is a perfect miniature of the Embassy headstock (so they seem to take up more space). The Newport headstock is not only shorter but also less wide than the Embassy's (2 3/4" at the jagged protrusion in the middle of the "E"/batwing as opposed to 3" with the Embassy).
What I can't rule out though is that the batwing headstock of the Newport came in two sizes (large and small), depending on what tuners they used.Si(gh)ze matters!
