You have to use the exact PN as indicated, including the mounting end.
All you can modify is to remove the pin in the clevis if you want to bolt the cylinder in place, and you can choose how to mount the extending end (clevis, but and bolt, etc.).

We proposed to use the front mount versions for transmission shifters a few years ago, because they are shorter, but we told we could not, via an official Q+A.

While the function of the cylinders is the same, the rule is there to assure that all teams have the same aprts and the same issues with mounting them,
