That may be a cheap part that is readily available at O'reilly's but I don't believe they have ANY $3 parts. A 15 cent bolt costs about 89 cents there.
One question, why 6 gauge wire on one side and 16 gauge on the other if this is a circuit breaker?
The supply end probably had the bigger wire.
There are many reasons they aren't the same size;
Could be it came from somewhere where it was just handy to use that AWG or they may have been concerned about a V drop or the may be other options that could have been connected to the load side requiring more current.
