20-inch radius curves vs. 36 diameter curves

Lionel Flyer Chief makes a distinction for some locomotives needing a minimum curve of 36 inch diameter and other non FC items needing a 20-inch radius.

My question: Aren't they the same?  Doesn't a  20-inch radius translate into  a 40-inch diameter and if so, how is that different from a 36-inch diameter minimum radius?

Is there a difference and if so, what is it?
