Default Dipstick Length

I can recall reading that there are different flathead dipstick/tube combinations that could result in wrong oil level readings.

I'm currently putting a 59A flathead together. I don't know it's history, but it's been 'rebuilt' in the past

When fully inserted in the tube, the dipstick tip is about 1 inch above the bottom of the pan.

Is this correct?
