différente plus sur 1/3

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Pattern cutting machine
"La proportion de hauteur de ce panneau 1/6 chez xxx est différente a notre conception plus sur 1/3."

There is a picture that shows the 1/6 panel (narrow) and another that shows the 1/3 panel, the latter much wider. I'm not sure what the "plus" means here. I'm thinking "The 1/6 height proportion of this panel from xxx is different from our design by more than 1/3." But not sure if the height of the first panel is just 1/6 and the second is just 1/3, in which case I would translate it as "The 1/6 height proportion of this panel from xxx differs from our 1/3 design."

This is French from France.
Thanks very much for clarification!

To Asker Can you measure the width to height ratio in the two panels from the picture available to you? Are they exactly 1/6 and 1/3? I am thinking that "plus sur 1/3" could mean "closer to 1/3" or "more like 1/3".

different more than 1/3

Sense: the difference between a measure of the two designs is greater than 33%.
