Are you sure you are looking at the radio fuse. At 5/8" that would appear to be an SFE 2 or SFE 4 which would be the clock fuse. I believe the radio fuse will be inline in the wire between the power source and box
The lengths of some of the common size SFE fuses Packard used are:
2 and 4 amps = 5/8"
6 amps = 3/4"
7.5 and 9 amps = 7/8"
14 amps = 1 1/16"
20 amps = 1 1/4"
30 amps = 1 7/16"
Does the fuse holder you are working with look stock? Typically the originals were a two part metal cylinder and frequently had a cardboard sleeve to slide over and insulate them if something with an open electrical terminal was close by. If the holder does go to the radio control head it is possible that is just a small protection fuse for a turn on or the tuner select circuit and is not the main radio fuse.
