For 1961 at least, although there is a different parts listing for conv frame, the shop manual does not show a different width dimension for conv. The station wagons were all about five inches narrower in the rear section than other models. All seem to be the same width in the passenger area. Maybe that was to allow for the right-side spare tire well in the back to drop lower than the nominal rear compartment area. I'm guessing that the spare tire was in the right rear fender in that year wagon. And I suppose the gas tank was in the left rear fender,
Sorry, I guess we are getting far afield from the OP carpet question.
