I do not know the answer, but an educated guess would be they are all the same. The Ford m/c has 22 stamped on the side which refers to the bore size - which suggests there is only one size.
Also the Sierra front wheels have their own brake pipe each, and so the bore must be the same for each.
I do not know abou which way around to fit them, but again would suggest they are all the same.
If the bore sizes were different the pressure generated would be quite different too, which would not be desirable. This is usually controlled by a brake bias valve instead.

The BMW M/C has the front brakes nearest the servo and the rear brake line off the furthest. The 'Ford' types seem to be the other way round?

I can't think of a good reason why it matters but wonder if anyone knows better?
