The latter.
The large cog is based on the
Doel Cog wreck, while the medium cog is baesd on the
Bremen Hanse Cog wreck. The former is much rounder in the hull than the latter.
'Medium' and 'large' refer to the cargo capacities, not the apparent size.
Note, however, that the beam of the 'medium' cog is similar to the large cog. The hull of the large cog is just taller and rounder, hence allowing more cargo. Note the superior sailing qualities of the 'medium' cog.
