It's actually in examples like this where books are vital for making this sort of information accurate. Due to the way the Showa sets were constructed, the way the cameras were pointed could make things look larger or smaller than in other scenes. For example, in Destroy All Monsters, there are shots which make Anguirus only slightly taller than Minilla, but in others he comes up to the base of Godzilla's forearms. You can't rely on visual sources in this case, because the camera's perspective can change the proportion of things in the lens.
