Does any one have one of these .?  Or a blade from one?

I talked about my Union 41 T+G plane the other day.  I mentioned that 
one of the blades I got with the plane had a taper to it.....

I saw a picture of the 444 Blades, which have a taper to them..... Very 
similar to the blade I have.....

I am wondering if I have a Franken-DT-T+G-Plane... Could I have the rare 
444 blades instead of relatively common Union 41 (Stanley 48) blades? 
(and, by th eway the blades i have really do not fit properly)

If someone has a blade ( even a reproduction from St James Bay Tool will 
do.....and could measure the blade size for me, it would help me to 
figure it out....

I need the length and the width of each end of the tapered blade, plus 
width dimension of the straight blade....

TIA


PS... Ordering a new repro set of blades as soon as I can.....

Thanks Kirk. It was that picture that got me riled up. The tapering on the
width of the blade is like one of the blades I got with the Union 41. It is
very distinctive.
I also was told the 46 blades were tapered in the same way.
Still collecting information.
