Why not post this in modelling and painting forum under a title relevant to eldar vehicles? :D
I have no idea, never assembled one :D

BDA can't access the site from work but he says

The wave serpent has an add-on section to the back that makes it 1” longer more or less then the others.

Basically the Tau and Eldar are not important enough to warrant a second tank hull unlike the marines and guard lol

BDA has nailed it on the head, the basic hull is the same. The Wave Serpent has an extension.

When you mix in the FW versions there are again extra add-on parts and replacement turrets, but the basic hull is the same plastic GW sprue.
