PLAN's HGV
Did some very rough guess-timations on the two missiles above.
Assuming that both carrier trucks are of the same model and are ~12 meters long:
HCM: ~8.5 meters (length) x ~0.71 meters (diameter)
HGV: ~10 meters (length) x ~0.95 meters (diameter)
Looks like the HCM can fit inside the UVLS cells onboard PLAN DDGs, whereas the HGV cannot (or would require larger VLS cells).
Of course, it must be noted that the obtained values may not be fully accurate, hence please take them for rough reference purposes. Feel free to point out or correct any discrepancies.

I don't think the carrier truck camo matters. Here's one with YJ-18, which is deployed by the PLAN.
Well, during the 2019 military parade, the PLAN had already switched to this camouflage pattern, and you can see the "HZ" (possibly short for HaiZhuang, meaning naval equipment) prefix in the numbering.
