Not exactly the wars, the loading tools differ between manufacturers like Erfurt, DWM, Mauser, Krieghoff, etc...
Also the German police had their own tools made, which differ and some foreign users like Finland had their own loading tool shapes. Post war DDR and Mauser tools also differ.
Collecting loading tools is an intricate study in itself, a couple of good articles have been written by several forum regulars here, like Klaus Merzbach and Dave Lindsey.
