Need a little help with thread specs for Saeco dies

I have been going through my existing inventory of top punches, die blanks, etc. and I've run into something a little confusing. A have a few Saeco style sizer dies. Some of them have an 11/16-24 thread, others have a 5/8-18 thread. I also found a small bag of nuts that we recut from 5/8-18 to 11/16-24.

Since I don't have a Saeco luber or any actual Saeco dies I'm not sure which thread spec is standard. Anybody care to offer any help?
