Banana Adapters BNC, shorting bars, thermocouple, mutimeter leads distance

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a standardised distance between multimeter leads that can take all sorts of adapters. Or better put would all multimeter take such adapters(for example banana to BNC)
Here are a few examples:

RoGeorge:
Yes, standard distance and standard banana diameter, they should fit in any decent DMM, power supply, etc.
alm:
Yes, the standard spacing is 19mm (3/4 inch) which is pretty universal for adapters and most multimeters.

Thanks guys !!

I'm seeing a lot of mentions of "standard", but I haven't yet seen a reference to an actual standard. IMHO, it's only a de facto standard, not defined anywhere. TLDR, according to Wikipedia the dual "banana" spacing of 3/4" or 19 mm (or 19.05 mm?) originates from General Radio test equipment in the 1920s, specifically their type 274-M dual-plug.
