Short A5 magnets in Dimarzios?

[appar111]

I was noticing this on an older Dimarzio Paf Pro that i just got...the magnet in it is noticeably shorter than magnets I've found in Duncans and the ones I've used from AddictionFX.

Is there a sonic difference between shorter and longer magnets? Would swapping a longer A5 into the Dimarzio yield any sonic difference, other than the fact that the original magnet being slightly degaussed from age vs. a brand new full strength mag?

The magnet in the Dimarzio 36 was a little bit narrower than "standard" as well. I put an Alnico 8 into one and it bulged the coils a tiny bit. Don't know about the potential effect on the tone though.
