Non omnino gravis
It sounds like one is 3cm narrower and another is 3cm wider. 
Do you have any discomfort with the narrower or wider bars?

Well, yeah, the 39 is 3 cm smaller and the 45 is 3 cm larger. Which one do you like best?

It sounds to me that English isn't your first language. Like the others, I don't really know what your asking.
For racing. handlebars are usually set at the width of your shoulders which is a good compromise. Wider bars can be more comfortable and often used for touring but they are less aerodynamic. Narrow bars are possibly more aerodynamic but make it harder to breath.
