"How many dipstick tubes are there for this motor?"

I don't have a clue, but manufacturing and eng'g common sense says that they'd want to design and make only one sized hole and one sized tube. Variations always create confusion and cost money, such as the need to stock multiple parts.

Could it be that the original tube had broken off flush with the block, giving you the appearance of a smaller hole?

(If so, I can suggest a method for pulling out the broken off stub, which worked for me many years back.)
