There doesn't seem to be a definite standard for the pins used on these

uses different ones from a cordless phone. Since it's basically the US
telephone connector I wonder why?

Because the UK line is on 2 and 5, or the outer wires of a flat 4-wire
cord5, and the US line is on 3 and 4, or the inner wires.

Yehbut that doesn't explain the RJ11 using different terminals. I can't
see them making a special PCB just for the UK so they can use a standard
UK telephone flex.
