Elastic scattering data gained for proton-proton collisions at high energies are being analyzed at the present practically only with the help of purely phenomenological mathematical models. And the question exists whether in the impact parameter plane the elastic processes may be interpreted as central or peripheral. From realistic point of view the peripherality should be preferred and one may expect that nucleon dimensions should manifest in some way in elastic data. It will be demonstrated that the elastic pp data at the energy of 53 GeV in the interval |t| from (0., 4.) [GeV^2] may be interpreted well as the superposition of mutual collisions of two internal structures with maximal external dimensions; the approximate dimensions and frequencies of corresponding structures being established on the basis of measured elastic data.
