Default Newbie Question Molds and Templates

Hello!

I have a question and I think I know the answer but it's just as likely I have it wrong.

I just received a form and template supposedly from the same plans. However when I placed the template on the mold I got an unexpected result (see pictures). Am I correct in assuming these are not from the same plans? Or someone made an error?

The template does match the paper plans so I assume it is correct.

Thanks in advance!

The slightly smaller radii of the mold compared to the template looks like it's to accommodate springback in bending the sides.

Doesn't look right to me. IMO the mold should match the template perimeter as closely as possible. How else could you lay things out properly?
Seems like a mistake, especially if the mold doesn't match the paper drawing.
