and don't want all their toilets being returned because they won't fit over the pipe.

You were right to question the elongated seat, the floor fitting not so much. Ask them where you are buying the thing about this. I think you'll find it's one thing the industry has managed to standardize. so there is no gap in back of the tank and nobody has to move the pipe, an expensive proposition for a toilet.
