Some friend. That is weird, obviously they are for different scopes. You could possibly make two wooden spacers to fit between the tube bearings and the base sides. It should not be hard. I would be concerned about clearance of the base at the bottom, because if you lower the tube bearing to the same level as the mounting screws the end of the scope looks like it would strike the base at the bottom.
Second thought is to just build a new base. Those pressed chipboard bases don't last very well, and a marine ply base would be a stronger long term choice. You could probably reuse the hardware, bearings etc. You would need to be fairly handy to build one, but they are pretty simple.
