Are There Different Models for Physical Delivery in Traditional Futures Markets?

Yes, there are several models. The most common are the "Delivery Notice" model, where the seller issues a notice of intent to deliver, and the "Book Entry" model, where delivery is accomplished through ledger entries rather than physical movement of the asset.

The specific model depends on the asset, with agricultural commodities often using warrants and financial assets using book entries.
