After watching Jedha's video I decided to have a look at Nate's ankle situation, with regards to getting the trousers to sit lower over his boots.
The extension at the end of the leg is the socket that the holds the peg, so it'd be a drastic measure to lever that off and shape a peg to fit what was left of the leg.
So I pulled the pegs out and checked them against my spares. LIM's were slightly longer than every other regular short peg. So there was my simple solution.
I exchanged LIM's for a pair regular pegs.
