There could be some distinction between both the environments. Can you use
gather_facts and get the differentiating value ?

if you are able to get it using gather_facts, you can use set_facts

Example

set_facts:
   nfs_server: xyx
when: ansible_distribution= 'CentOS'

set_fact:
   nfs_server: abc
when: ansible_distribution ='Ubuntu'
