Neither - it's bang in the middle of the two - 3.5x 5.25.
You're right, of course, but in practise a little bit is lost from the top bottom and side edges. Since this framing margin is about the same the aspect ratio of the film area you're printing is a little more than 3:2 i.e. 5.5 x 3.5 paper will fit better than 5.0 x 3.5.
I haven't bought small size photographic (wet process) paper for a good few years, but I must say I'm rather surprised it isn't sold as either 15x10 cm or 6x4 inch these days.
