Why does the tail stock appear to be of a different height then the 4
jaw chuck?

Maybe it's adjustable.

The head can be angled, and may be at some angle other than
parallel to the table at present.

I have a worse situation in that I got a tailstock off ebay for my
Hardinge dividing head, then discovered that the Hardinge dividing
head and Hardinge collet indexers use tailstocks with different center
heights. Naturally I got the wrong one. Oh, well, someday I'll find
the correct one. Not an issue until I relocated and set the shop back
up.

Ouch! If you are lucky, the tailstock you got is lower than you
need, and you can make a riser block to go between it and the table.

Good luck,
DoN.
