Or the Warbird could be such a great design that they don't have many other classes. Alternatively, they could have several classes, they all just happen to look like D'Deredix class Warbirds.

Ok, I returned to the store, and didn't find the outline. I did find something more interesting, though: "Making of the Trek Films". An ILM employee confirms Okuda's statement that the BoP was originally supposed to be a Romulan ship commanded by Klingons. The change to a completely Klingon ship came while the model was being built - I guess that the model crew could have added a few Klingon details at that point, especially since the BoP was built off of sketches and prototypes, rather than detailed blueprints.
Also, the whaling ship from STIV is actually a 140-foot long WWII minesweeper, which the production crew located and refitted a bit.
