Do the dimensions of metal faceplates not conform to a standard like

No they don't. Even white plastics can vary a bit.


I would use ordinary metal boxes joined with conduit couplers and male
bushes. That will get you even spacing with a small gap between.


IIRC, TLC sell coupling bits to allow two boxes to be fixed at the minimum
distance. Easier than using conduit couplers.
