It doesn't make much difference in practice. The

difference in the nominal first-to-last position is only 10.5 mils,
which is on the order of the non-cumulative position tolerance.
If these are the
connectors that can have keys inserted between every
connector, the small difference would be significant as those would not
align between a metric connector and an English (inch) board. The
electrical connections would line up w/o any keying as you say.
