Default Rear Wheel bearing size delema

Hey Guys:
Took 2 axles to the machine shop for bearing/seal replacement, 67 GTO. Got them back and the OD of the bearings are TOO BIG!! For a 10 bolt rear, their book says RW507CR which has an OD of 2.748" by spec. The bore in my housing is 2.553" +/-. I have another rear end (67 GTO) at the gear shop and so I called down and had the guys measure the OD of the bearings on those axles. It was 2.556" which also sounds exactly what I need. I am assuming that the bearing ID is correct, as they were able press on the new (wrong) bearings. Also, the width of the wrong bearings seems correct also. The shop where my other rear is was unable to see what the bearing number was on those (crap!!). Anyone had this problem before? Does anyone have the correct bearing number for this situation?
Thanks.

Chemnick
