I think there are some crossed wires here?
I think all the lids are the same size and not even handed from what I remember. (Although there is a front and back.)
However the actual pots do come in different sizes (heights). The early brake reservoir was the same size as the clutch, but this was enlarged fairly early on. I am fairly sure that there are two different piston sizes for the brake master too. (not that it's an issue here).
Certainly the single disc models use a 12.7 or 13mm piston and the twin disc version is bigger but I can't remember the size atm! I believe the single disc reservoirs stayed the small size for a while but were later increased to the same size as the twin disc one, with just the piston sizes differing.

Watch out for Scrambler brake masters (They use a cable clutch) as they use "coffin" reservoirs with a 13mm piston, but I think the design is different to the Monster era Coffins and I don't think they interchange.

Strange that the lids with DOT 3+5 seem to be saying use Glycol OR Silicone based fluids... That can't be right??
