I have encountered many of the mid 60's cards with this problem, primarily '62-'68. I call them 'oversized / miscut'. They usually will turn up in 'outside the hobby'' collections, where the original collectors bought them in wax packs. In fact going back over 40 years, I cannot recall an original collection / accumulation from that era that doesn't have a dozen or so per thousand cards.
The grading companies take the easy way out and call them trimmed, but in most cases these types of cards will technically be larger than standard size.
These types of cards do not turn up in sets which were assembled using vending case cards
