Well they are so...
With such different body proportions, yet equally boggling strides, I find it hard to believe these two runners share the same height.
It seems obvious that David Rudisha is the shorter of the two, however, it is difficult to find an image of these two together for fair comparison.
I have found one video of a press conference from 2016 which features the two, and in the opening seconds Kiprop is clearly seen towering over Rudisha.

Another video I have found shows the two running very closely over the 800m. This offers another view, however, that makes it difficult to bring myself to the previous conclusion.

I tried to find images that mirrored the two mid stride and this was the closest I could get.

Kiprop is 6'2" to 6'3" MAX. He is listed as 190 cm.
He is also listed as 136 lbs / 62 kg. If he would be 6'6" as you say, he would be dead at this weight.
Kiprop seems to be a couple of inches taller but my god his legs are probably 4 inches longer. Absolutely crazy
Kiprop is taller than Rudisha when standing, but shorter when sitting. That's how you know he's a genetic freak
