Default Junior hacksaw blades

Its not just the Junior ones either. The normal ones with the pips on the
handle and holes in the blades seem to have several standards as well.

I have not had any issue getting the right ones, I just need to give the
frame to whoever is buying them.
I did get some Stanley ones a while back, which were crap, the teeth kind
of shredded off. Made in Poland it said apparently, but I suspect fakes from
China using cheap and cheerful manufacturing techniques.

Is there more than one standard (dimension wise) for junior hacksaw
blades?

I have 5 off junior hacksaws from different manufactures. They are not the
bent metal type but a tiny bit more up-market (but of no-name branding)
where the blade is tensioned with a screw.

I have purchased some Eclipse blades and have found that they only fit
into two of the frames I have. All frames take the same length of blade
but the difference is in the position or the diameter of the "pips" at the
end of the blades. In two cases the pip on the Eclipse bales are too wide
and will not fit into the pip slots in the frame. In the other case where
the blade doesn't fit the pip is positioned too far from the end and the
retaining slot in the frame isn't long enough.
