Prior to October 1999, all mage and necro pets seem to have been the same size and colour across the entire level span.
This was adjusted to the model growth / colour change we know today in this patch:
This is also mentioned by Brad in his end of year post:
Screenshot Evidence
Necro pets
This is a screenshot of a level 34 necromancer NPC in Mistmoore (a dark ritualist) with white skeleton pets:

This is a white skeleton pet at a Nagafen raid:

Compare the size to what seems to be a level 4 or 8 necro pet from around the same time:

Magician pets
Here are screenshots of a fire pet at the same Nagafen raid as above:

I still need to find an equally dated picture of a lower level fire pet to compare.
Newsgroup Evidence
Post from July 1999 stating that necro pets don't change with levels, and that magician elementals don't vary in size:
Another implying that necro pets aren't different at higher levels:
Magician pets across the various levels "all look the same":
Let them fix your previous mess first
