So Specialized Armament wouldn't have it either even though it is on their site?
Why would Brownells send a standard FSP under the tapered carbine FSP's part number?

They may use the taller front sight because of the thinner barrel, the bottom of the sight sits lower due to the thinner barrel.
The math doesn't SEEM to work on the barrel diameter theory... (but I've been battin' a thousand on my assumptions this week ;))
(.750-.625)/2 = .0625" The sight variance is .040" isnt it?
Getting beyond the F vs. regular FSB heights, this is what you want to buy to fix the problem.

I was able to find a "tapered" thin post that was slightly longer at a local shop. It remedies the issue perfectly. Has anyone been able to confirm that an "F" front site base even exists for a pencil barrel? Will all flattop/pencil barrel Colts have this issue?
Thanks for the notes/posts.
