Looking at the scan, it appears that the dimensions would be proportionally correct for the cards to have been packaged in these wrappers, if of course the sizing matched up.

I messaged the eBay seller about the dimensions of the Dentyne wrappers. He replied that they are 66mm long by 31mm wide.
By applying those dimensions to the wrapper picture, the width of the area between the crease lines is approximately 26mm. The width of my Colgan's proof card is 35mm, so it seems like the wrappers are a little too small to have contained these proof cards.
I found related pictures of a sold item on eBay that would appear to confirm this (along with Leon's quarter
):
