As Chris mentioned there's a ton of reasons why physical arrangements are made the way they are. It could range from anything from space limitations all the way to personal preference, from either the piping guy, contractor or the client themselves.
I bet it you examine the arrangement, the proper "to-from" connections are tying the same two points together in all examples. If they are not, then that indicates a difference in process, if they do, then that indicates either space limitation or preference as I mentioned above.

Subject: [Spam] [PipingDesign] Control valve station
Dear friends,
I am santharam. I am working as Piping Engineer. I am having some doubts in control station. Consider a control station which is 500mm from the ground level. Both the gate valves are present at both the sides of control valve. In some cases the bypass valve is placed parallely above the control valve & in some other cases it is placed at 45 degrees vertical to the control valve. why is it so?
