For this set, multiple photos show The Hobbit is taller than the LotRs, but once in the box they are the same? Can someone with this set (or earlier version) speak on this?

It’s just an optical illusion because The Hobbit is broader than LotR, so it’s sticking out further when they’re on end out of the box. The box itself is designed to compensate for this difference (it has a little extra cardboard on the lotr side).
Edit: Here are pics of my set, with the illusion recreated when looking at the spines, and in the other pic you can see inside the box and also the different lengths of the books sideways.
