Same for LInhof Kardan cameras since the B and for Technikas since the IV. The only exception with Kardans is after the B they changed the rail so intermediate standards are different. Anything that attaches to the front or back are the same.
Some Other cameras also have standardization.

I don't think that Carl Hans Koch or Sinar in 1947 already thought of the F or P cameras of 1970. For me this is a sustainability myth of today.
- What a pity that Sinar never produced a dedicated field camera. At least a good telescope rail like the Toyo VX125 rail, as a basis for a standard setup like the one of the Norma (base tilt). Instead, the F and P cameras have these projecting rise tubes on the standard base, together with a rigid optical bench. I have already thought about installing Norma standards on two Manfrotto macro rails ... - Linhof solved the "field camera" task with the Technika and the Technikardan. But what the Technika would lack - if you really needed that - would be the interchangeable bellows,
