Because on my model, if you use the same placement and holes, one end needs a flat hinge (mounting hole bracket parallel to the strut) and the other needs to be at a right angle to the strut. The one you show has two right angle hinges, for lack of a better description. I could sent you a picture of mine for clarification.
