I did some work on this some years ago and found some buckets that were the same diameter but because the Japanese manufacturers put a removable shim under the bucket it was not worth while going further because the valve stem would need to be shorter which meant a change of spring and valve and on it went. All in all it just wasn't worth the time and money considering how rarely they need to be changed.
