Yes. I have a flea-market special on which the barrel/mouthpiece joint is
somewhat bigger than conventional, so much so that I can play it only with
the mouthpiece that came with it. The instrument is named "Three Star", is
plastic or the like (rubber?),and is probably a stencil, but from whom I
have no idea. So yours is not the only case, although in your case the
tenon is too small.

Anyone know when things got standardized?
