Whitewall width question

Would anyone care to speculate on the width of the whitewalls on the 400 and Caribbean in the photo.

I had read and do recall seeing a photo of a narrow tire at another car show in the Kimes edited book. IIRC, that photo was showing a narrow width installed on just a single 56. Here is another example showing that apparently they were used on more than just the one car and show. 56 Car show

I guess the question I have would be if anyone knows or can interpolate the width. If something modern is available approximating that width, would they be considered more or less correct or were those narrow tires strictly on show cars and not really available.
