Because Japan and because Marketing. Apo Vlad looks (in my opinion) cooler and much more like his usual depiction in media which is of regal nature and after his legend had cemented as the greatest landscaper of all time. Extra Vlad looks like Vlad in his warrior days, when he had not long ago began making lawn ornaments out of people but had already made a name for himself.

Most people are missing it because it is actually explained in the story. He is technically (in the story, so spoilers) summoned as a Lancer and then has the Madness Enchantment cast on him, just like the rest of the servants summoned by Alter Jeanne. This makes them all Berserker class, and they are referred to as: Berserker Saber, Berserker Lancer, Berserker Assassin, etc.

Doesn't make sense when you look at it aesthetically, but more than likely: they needed (wanted) a 5 star Berserker, and Vlad fit the bill AND they made it work via the story. You'll find most people who took the effort to have an actual WIKIA account with avatars fall into three non-mutually exclusive categories: Pathetic, Egotistical and last and most often, Useless.

Too busy wanting to attention whore instead of actually finding information.
