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 have some leftover OEM turn signal bulbs from my buddy's G35 (7440) and they fit fine as well in my turn signal socket, they don't have the nubs you speak of. Maybe that's just with the Sylvania brand?
