Pretty easy to maintain the appearance of the Science One on any of your configurations, as the trailer modules can be virtually any size of shape with just the flexible docking being the same for interchangeability and environmental integrity.
To maintain the sleek lines of the Mars One, the modules are limited in their form factor to have similar profiles and to the front and rear section. Not undoable, just an outlier that reduces manufacturing scale.
If you like, I did some work in this same area a while back. I made a scale drawing of the Mars One to see if I could fit in all the gear 3rd edition had inside. I was able to get it to work, though I did have to move the wheels out from the main body. Having the blueprints really helped. I can post a preview here if you want to see the results.
