That's a good question for the OP. Those air box clips are very breakable so a good chance something has been replaced from another year/engine that may not be exactly the same. As others suggest the cartridge filter rubber lip usually has a fair degree of forgiveness depending on the brand, typically +/-1/8" to +/-1/4". I've mostly bought Mann filters over the years and often had filters that are a bit too snug or loose in the box slot, but by the time the cover is clicked down there's a good seal.
Mann (a known OEM to Volvo) lists the C43831 (C4383/1) filter as the correct fitment for the OP's 1989
size 13.19" x 6.5" x 1.46"
cross referencing to Volvo 1326352, 463505 and 463640
fits Volvo 240 B230F 1985-1993, B23F 1983-1984, B21F 1980-1982 and a couple of carb'd/diesel variants
