I don't have it with me to do any measuring, but based on what I can see it looks like the ends of the pins and front of the connector for yours and mine are the same distance. It looks like the base of the plastic is shorter on yours though than mine. The pins just barely poke out of the back of the board, use the SMS pins on yours as a comparison because they are the same distance.
As far as whether or not cutting your pins shorter and having it closer to the board I could not say. I don't think cutting the pins shorter would cause any issue, I'm just not sure if you may have any issues with certain games not fitting in either of the slots for some reason. It may not matter, but I will let someone else that knows more add to the discussion.
