Some of the Colson head tubes of the later 1930’s were fairly tall; some of the Colson head tubes of the early 1940’s look to be a bit shorter, (e.g., loop frames?).
Might be best to measure the candidate frame. oops, I see that you are the seller!

Perhaps double-check if the forks are bent slightly back, or if it is just the pictures?

Out of curiosity I just checked some Colson parts, mens and ladies, early and late, both ~6+5/8” and consistent with what a member once posted about Colson frame sizes and forks. Head tube was ~5+1/2”.

Hard to tell from the pics but Colson had sharp ridge on the shoulder, if no ridge CWC used that style fork on a few models.
