The 7440 socket has an extra set of notches for the nubs to slide into. The 7444 (or 7443) bulbs don't have the extra nubs, so they can slide into the 7440 sockets.

But the 7440 (with the extra nub) won't slide into the correct 7443 socket because the 7443 socket doesn't have the extra notches.
i just had some noname chrome bulbs
