Nahhh... First, I suspect that those 11 blades are a slightly different 
model - newer, or whatever. When we first got some Dell R720s was when we
ran into CentOS calling the NIC em1 instead of eth0, while *other*
R-series servers we got the same time were still eth0.

I'm afraid you're going to have to put conditionals into the ks, or maybe,
the way we do, write a CGI that creates one on the fly, to tell it to look
for those drives under those names. *shrug* We did just that in our CGI,
and chose CentOS 6, 64 bit, R720 for them.
