The difference is the amount the electron beam is deflected. Older CRTs (like the 10BP4) are generally longer so use a smaller 50º deflection angle. At the other extreme are the really shallow 120º tubes used in sets like the Predictas.

If you sub a 70º yoke for a 60º, I believe the edges of the picture will be off the screen.
