Need glazing bead identified

Handy Person from Reston, Virginia
Hi folks,
I bought a few pieces of the Capitol Gazing bead (55-090), with the hope it would fit the windows on a recently purchased home (built in 1972).

Even when they're really close in profile, they're a bit wider and will not fit. I'm attaching photos of both a new (black) and an old (whitish) piece together so you can see the sligth differences. Do you have any other model that might be an exact match? This is the only one I found while searching in your store.

If there's nothing closer... any trick to make this fit? I was thinking about just sanding them down a bit but it will be quite some work.

Thanks,
Esteban

When you say it is too wide, are you referring to the locking leg? If so, you could potentially trim it down a little using a utility knife. We also have the 55-050 glazing which might be a better match.
