Peter, the bonnet hinge length on both of my 6th Series cars (633) is 38 1/4" and about the same distance from firewall to radiator. Both cars have front mounted water pumps.
I guess you are wondering whether the earlier 6th Series cars used side pumps and the same length bonnet and engine bay as your 5th series.
I don't know but I just checked the parts book and it lists only one part number for the 626/633 bonnet assembly for each body style. (The open car bonnets have the swage line in a different location to the closed cars)
And by way of trivia the Packard parts book calls them "bonnets" not "hoods"!
