When I first saw your (very cool) overlay, I thought about wheel size discrepancies. I have a folder full of Hunq pics and I'm going to say the Hunqapillar is a 51, which has 26" wheels. The 54cm Hunq's have a much smaller gap at the top tube-head tube-down tube junction, due to the longer fork. The 52cm Clem would have 650B wheels so there should be a noticeable difference in the wheel sizes if the bikes are sized correctly.
