Vm26 pilot jet part number confusion

I recently ordered some size 20 mikuni pilot from jetsrus and got them in the mail today, went to put them in and it starts to thread but then stops because the tip of the jet is too large for the hole in the carb body and you can visually see a diameter difference between the stock 15s and these 20s. This is the link for the jets I just ordered http://jetsrus.com/a_jets_by_carburetor_type/jets_mikuni_N224-103_pilot.htm
and on the specs it lists tip diameter as 2.5mm but if you go to the pilot jets listed for vm28 carbs the tip diameter is 2.0mm. Do I need to order the jets for the vm28? This is a 1979 gs1000 and I put my calipers on the carbs and got a little over 26mm and the size of the tip for the stock 15s was 2mm. So I'm assuming I ordered the wrong ones just based off those measurements I'm just confused as to why their website says for vm28s. Here is the link http://jetsrus.com/a_jets_by_carburetor_type/jets_mikuni_VM28-486_pilot.htm
 
I took all the measurements with my calipers and matched them to the website numbers of the vm28/486 and they all came out correct so I went ahead and ordered those. If anyone goes to order new pilots for their vm26 carbs it's gonna be the vm28/486 on jetsrus not the n224.103
