Somebody fitted a different valve at some point? Although I thought all valves were a standard size

The front one as it comes out sideways is shorter but that would be the only difference.

Yes the front valve faces out towards you but mine is smaller in thickness compared to rear valve bit strange I know, must get it changed job done.
