I don't have any Pietta to compare but I have two 62 Police pocket revolvers. Both have a 1.250 cylinder diameter. All the 51 Navy's I have are 1.500 more or less. The 62 Pocket cylinder is also an 1/8 inch shorter.

The 51 and 60 Navy is a 'belt' frame revolver. The 62 Police is a "pocket' frame revolver.
