3 saddles to 6 saddles: Increase in the strings spacement?

I have a 72 Tele Custom that had the bridge replaced by a vintage Fender with 6 saddles. I don't know if I am too picky but it seems that the E strings (mainly the high E string) seems to be closer to the edge of the fretboard than in my other Fender guitar ( Am. Std Stratocaster), as if the new bridge would have spaced the strings a little. By any means, have you seen this before?

When I make some hammer ons in the first string sometimes the string get out of the neck. I don't think this is a case of neck misalignment since the low E is about the same distance to fretboard edge. Then I started to think about rthe bridge....
