There are differences in some tanks.
You will find reverse threads on combustibles.
Others are interchangeable.
It is not advisable to use a tank for anything other than the intended gas due to tare strengths and such.

the threads aren't the determining factor.
Each tank is designed to hold a certain gas or certain type of gas. It is marked for that gas and has safety features necessary for that gas.
It would be extremely dangerous to put a gas into a container that isn't designed and marked for use with that gas.

They are different so no one uses the wrong gas.
