Most cans of tuna here (Uruguay) are not hockey-puck shaped - and soup doesn't come in cans either, but in Tetra-Paks, except for the rare Campbell's import.

Searching for images I came across this very relevant article on irregular can types:

Yes, local tradition would dictate shape.

When I look for tuna at the grocery store, I looked for the can shape, rather than the tuna section or tuna labels. If tomorrow I went to the grocery store, and all the cans of tuna were a different shape (or a different package) I would end up having to ask someone.
