I always thought the Pershing I looked somewhat ungainly-- that LONG anteater nosecone and midbody fins, with the little delta fins on the rear stuck on as an 'afterthought'...

The Pershing II looked like a much sleeker, "meaner" looking missile, with its small delta forward fins and larger tailfins and stepped body transition... Plus the accuracy scared the hell out of the Soviets, which is why they went bigtime with the SS-20's to counter it numerically if not in outright performance...

Later! OL JR
