Are all master cylinders the same?

Does anyone know if the master cylinders were the same for all brake options? I know that the prop valves were different but is the master on a disc/drum setup the same as one on a disc/disc setup?

Thanks

The bore varies but they're interchangeable.

I've swapped from drums to discs on the back so should I change the master for better rear brake performance or would it make no difference?

Cheers

It'll change the pedal effort and travel, but otherwise work the same.
