It has been reported to me by a reliable and knowledgeable source that the larger frontal area trailer takes less energy to tow at highway speeds.
It could very well be true for those two trailers (with specific tow vehicles); but untrue for similar others. Without pictures it's hard to comment; except to say the relevant factors are edge and corner radii, hitch length, &etc. As his quote says.
