Maybe this is redundant, I searched all over and didn't find any references.  There are no identifying labels for the various options.  This is what I have so far, two types I don't yet identify. 

There are M3 and 3.2 screw sizes for each type.

XLR-connector:

ø20, M3 x:0 y:13.5 Switchcraft M
ø20, 3.2 x:0 y:13.5 Switchcraft M
ø22, M3 x:09.9 y:09.9
ø22, 3.2 x:09.9 y:09.9
ø24, M3 x:09.5 y:12 Neutrik
ø24, M3 x:10 y:11.5
ø24, 3.2 x:09.5 y:12 Neutrik
ø24, 3.2 x:10 y:11.5
ø24.5, M3 x:08.35 y:13.1 Switchcraft F snug (useful when you need a bunch of tightly spaced connectors with minimal mounting play)
ø24.5, 3.2 x:08.35 y:13.1 Switchcraft F snug
ø25, M3 x:08.3 y:13 Switchcraft F spacious  (useful when you need some play)
ø25, 3.2 x:08.3 y:13 Switchcraft F spacious
 
Will be good for everyone to know.  I am very surprised that there's no directory anywhere I can find, not on the site, in the instructional PDF's, in the user forum, or here.  Clearly this must have vexed plenty of people over time.  I arrived at the above conclusions by saving as PDF a design template with all of the options, then reversing it in photoshop, then printing, then making physical comparisons.  Totally stone age, I know, that's me. 
 
Don't trust the 'footprint' in FPD, it's just a box encompassing the drill components.  Actual XLR footprint is larger, you'll need to block out real dimensions before dropping the drill components on the template, or you risk unexpected overlap with tight designs.
