You want to make sure that you have the exact same tires for all locations on your trailer. Technically yes you can use a slightly different size, load rating, or brand, but the problem with that is that you will end up having uneven wear which can lead to blowouts. The only time it's okay to run a slightly different tire is if you have a blowout and you're just trying to get to the nearest tire shop for a replacement.
If you currently have a Westlake tire with a load range D, like part # LHWL300, then you'll want to stick with the same size and load range all around to have the safest and most consistent ride quality.
