Propane tanks

Question

Is there a difference in propane tank dimensions for the 6 gallon tanks?  I noticed the Taishan tanks are slightly shorter and fatter, which came with the trailer. It says they are made in China/Canada. I like the ones that I get at Walmart because there is more room for the equalizer on the frame.
