Default kaiser / durst lens mount compatible ?

Does anyone know if the kaiser lens mounts are interchangeable with the durst lens mounts. i.e. will a durst lens mount fit in a kaiser enlarger and visa versa. They would need similar outer dimension/diameter.

As far as I know the lens mounting is standard 39 mm screw, so I wouldn't think it should be a problem

I'm asking if the outer dimension and fitting of the lens boards to the enlarger is the same and not whether they take standard size lenses.

Hello !
I can measure Durst Lapla lens "board" as I own a Durst enlarger.
Can't tell for the Kaiser.

The diameter of the Kaiser lens board is about 69mm and the lens board on a Durst M305 is 75mm so they are not interchangable. The Durst board will not fit into the Kaiser recess; you may be able to to secure the Kaiser board into a Durst with a bit of adapting but it will be off centre and I don't know if it would work like this.
