they did mention about Uranami's relative difference to the first gen Fubuki ships in the "Fubuki Ganbarimasu" manga (Chapter 37 to be precise), which is probably why changes done to her is carried forwards to Ayanami class. she's also the 10th and last ship of the Fubuki class ships.

Uranami set the standards for Ayanami class ships, though she carries the same weapon systems as her fellow Fubuki class ships. she's called Type II Kai (Type II is basically Ayanami Class) but still considered as Fubuki sub-class, so it's still just 3 classes.

the same way Yura, Kinu and Abukuma wears different uniforms compared to Nagara, Isuzu and Natori (yep, not just because the artist is different), and why Samidare and Suzukaze wears different uniforms than the first 4 (Samidare's questionable since she belongs to the first 6 standard Shiratsuyu class. technically she should be wearing a black uniform just like the first 5, but the Shiratsuyu class ships with wind (Suzukaze is one of them) in their name is to refer to the fact that they have minor modification compared to standard Shiratsuyu class). and that's why Akigumo wears Yugumo Class uniform instead of Kagero. historically she was mistaken as Yugumo class because of how similar she is.

@76.78.70.42 the fact that she's the only one that isn't a special type destroyers makes her special among starters (i guess) XD. i picked her as a starter. i was overjoyed when she (and Suzukaze) gets a fanart from Kujo Ichiso (illustrator for first 5 Shiratsuyu Class girls and Taigei)
