Actually not 100% true. I did my homework because I considered ordering a truck without Ramboxes and reusing my cover.

Here is the info I got from the Tonneau Vendor:

DescriptionFinished Cover CodeMeasurement between rails*Rail LengthCover length: back of Ft. Ch to end of TGCan Width + spirals not at mount holesBed LengthCab WidthTG Width
D-5.7-0923157.99566.75060.56361.37565.25062.00062.000
D-5.7-1924357.12067.12560.93860.50065.37561.75061.750

Above are the details and dims of the 2 covers.

The rails on the new 19 are 5/8 inch longer and the canister is 7/16 inch narrow on the 19 model. The 10231 cover may fit in the bed (may be a little tight to get canister in 19 model) it may not seal as well as one that is meant to fit the truck.
Finally something I can "digest" - nice detecting 'cj' ! Now if we could just "up the anti" on the "questions" on this particular segment .

I had a Retrax on my 2012 and then I put it on my 2015. I did a bit of measuring on the 2019 and I think it will fit. My cover still looks new after six years and two trucks and I just don't think I would get much for it if I left it on the 2015 truck. Retrax are too expensive to just give one away. But, I still believe they are the best ones out there. It is hard to tell, but looking at the new trucks, the plastic covers on the top of the fenders look thicker and that may be the fine difference in the measurements.

The canister ones are a little different. I was just thinking of the normal ones that lay on the cargo management system like my BakFlip does. I have never had one with a canister so not sure on those ones.
