This same frame should have a 57-59cm effective top tube (measured Center-to-center), 170mm crank arm (for this fixie) and a 110mm stem length.
. So, what you are telling me is that a seat tube at 72.5 deg vs a seat tube at 73.5 deg is going to have the same effective bb to handlebar effective length on a horizontal plane? Then you have to account for the head tube angle a& fork rake. Yes, every frame varies. & it can be by as much as a few CM in fit.
