Since 25.4mm = 1 inch...
45mm = 1.77 inches
38mm = 1.50 inches

Good luck!

1" bulkhead for the 45mm
3/4" bulkhead for the 38mm

Don't you mean 1.5" and 1.25"?

If 38mm = 1.5" and 45mm = 1.77"?

Why 1" and 3/4"?

Confused... Tack?

Youneed to look at the hole sizes required for the bulkheads you choose. Check aquaticecosystems, they have a pretty good reference for the bulkheads they carry.

But you ask why? Well a 1" bulkhead requires a 1.5 or 1.75 inch hole (or somewhere in between depending on the brand).

My apologies. After posting I realized my mistake.

Just ignore me.
