I had to measure this too, not so long ago :-)

The raster for placing them is 0.8" in the regular 64

.. and 0.9" in the SX. Also on my SX boards (I am not sure if there were other revisions than 251102A) KERNAL is 28 pin (2564) while the other are regular 901225/6 with 24 pins. My guess is that for the quantities of the SX-64 CBM was able to shifting at the price, it didn't pay to make a new ROM chip.
