Here are pics of my hold-down, which looks much like yours. The exact dimension across the inside is 4-1/8", and my NAPA 7248 battery is 4-1/4". Maybe manufacturing tolerances were not that precise back then.
Still, I need to modify the battery to get it to fit, or buy another battery.
I'll grind the battery a little before spending $135 on the exact fit with less cranking power.

The width of my 7248 is 4 3/16-1/4 give or take. The width of the hold-down is a little over 4 1/4. Here's a photo of the NAPA 7248 in my '50 with what I assume to be the standard Packard hold-down. It fits very nicely.
