Yes I have the short ones. They are made to fit inside a 48" hood for like a 75/90 120 ect. They are 45.25. I found the best price is to be had at Mountain Shadow marine. The 48" like Curtis has is for use in 6' tanks for retro use.
Your more than welcome to try one of mine to test your system.

Hmm, the plot thickens.  Yep, you're right, all of my endcaps aren't the same color (my actinics are gold, my 10k's are green).  I went for the tape measurer this time around and also checked the labelling on the bulbs.  I found the following:
 
What I have/need: 45-1/4" (excludes pins)
Label on bulbs (regardless of color) indicates FR48T12
 
What Downhill Biker has:  47-1/4" (excludes pins)
Label on bulbs (regardless of color) indicates FR40T12
 
Dion, do you by chance have something that's 45-1/4" long (excludes pins) and/or reads FR48T12?

Well, I may have celebrated prematurely, as the 48" bulbs Downhill Biker so graciously gave me are actually about 2" longer than the 48" bulbs my setup needs.  I'm sure it has everything to do with my green endcaps vs. Downhill's gold endcaps (though I can't really fathom why the two are sold as the same length). 
 
Dion, or anybody else, do you by chance have a bulb or two with green endcaps that I could borrow?
 
Thanks!!
