Wildwire / rock half sizes?

To the UKC hive mind!

I'm currently contemplating renewing my entire set of wires, to refresh them.  The issue I have is that I've replaced the odd damaged wire over the years and noticed that my older wild-wires (non anodised/coloured) are smaller than the new coloured wires, particularly noticeable in sizes 2-4, where for example a new 3 doesn't fit but the older wire slots in perfectly.  I'm wondering if this is because the older wires have just worn down slightly from being placed & removed hundreds of times?

Has anyone else experienced this? and found a solution to fill the, in between sizes?

I think wildwire might be karabiners.

I noticed variations in sizes with new and old half nuts, I concluded they were made like that.

Have updated to new replacement halfnuts throughout after the recall.
