I think that if you really take the time to study the Rio Grande water tanks you will find that, just like the locomotives, while they were built to a standard design, they were all ihdividuals.
Here are a couple of examples besides the two I posted earlier. Note the variations in underpinning, Hoop styles, Finials, frost boxes, etc
Cumbres 1939
Old Malta 1937
Leadville 1939
