I'm trying to identify the size WITHOUT having to take the Bezel out and measure those gauges.

That being said, they DO fit in the OEM GM Bezel,
so does anyone know if that size measures 2 1/16" or 2 5/8"?

I've attached 2 pictures of my set up.
Those look like the 2 1/16. I have 2 5/8 gauges in mine and fill the entire hole without seeing the bezel. Pics attached.

This one isn't exactly perfect as the vice I used was a cheapo, but thats all I had. The bowtie is cut in about an 1/8th inch.
Nice job! Paint the whole thing black and then use some steel wool to knock the paint off of the top and then you'll have a winner!
