So if back in the day the guys at Palmer Plastics were to go off the reproduction here, does that mean the kit would have ended up proportioned correctly?

I think they're both pretty goofy looking...

Harry, the original Barney Oldfield "Golden Submarine" was pretty much right on the money for 1919, when it was built, and as restored/reproduced by a Michigan enthusiast back about 25yrs ago (I've seen it in person, it's really pretty awesome.    However, the later "reproduction" is just plain awful--I've seen it multiple times, as the guy keeps running it through the auction at Auburn IN over Labor Day.
