The Jupiter C body is shorter, which is why Estes used the larger fins.
The real Mercury Redstone had extended tanks compared to the original Redstone missile. IIRC, the Jupiter C was a standard Redstone with tapered warhead removed and cylindrical section in its place to mount the platform that spun up the Seargent stages.
