And I thought that the only difference between LP and HP was the pressure stamped on the tank due to to silly DOT regulations. When in Florida I fill both LP and HP to 4,000 psi unless Wayne is behind in charging up his bank. I may be a little off on some of the numbers, but an LP 85 is basically an HP 100, while an LP 95 is an HP 119. It would sure be easier to just adopt the European standard of actual volume in liters so that the answer to this question would be obvious.
At one time I though HP and LP were the same tanks stamped differently also. I was wrong and corrected by others with more knowledge. The type of steel used is different and the HP tanks are significantly stronger. There is a relationship in the physical dimensions probably due to shared and standardized tooling in the manufacturing process.
