Nautical Mile ( int ) =1.8520 km Nautical Mile ( UK)=1.853184 km Mile ( statute ) = 1.609344 km
Since Americans and English men have both agreed that an inch is 25.4mm exactly, our miles must be 63360 inches long, and the same.
I belive that the American inch was adjuster by a trivial amount to harmonise the inch, and it's possible the mile was also slightly different then.
