You mentioned physical size differential.

YES, it is not uncommon for new production (2014-2015) electrolytic capacitors to be
smaller (diameter or height) than original 1970s production units.
This is largely due to advances in material sciences over the past 40 years.

SNAP-IN models, designed for printed circuit board (PCB) mounting, have replaced the
earlier "FP" twist-lock (Mallory, others) models and replaced the Screw terminal models in some applications.
