Default MA TDCi oil filter hex head size

A bit of confusion going on here. I seem to have a 26 mm hex head on my MA TDCi and Nev has a 27 mm. Are there 2 different sizes? I am using a single hex 26 mm for mine. Are the MB and MC any different again?

27mm single hex fit perfectly. Plus a long extension bar to get it onto the thing.
8mm Allen Key for the sump plug.

I tried the 26mm and it could be jammed on in an emergency but was causing damage.

The Filter clips to the lid which is nice as you can flip it upside down as you pull it out to stop drips. Although it is a cause for oily fingers when freeing it from the lid.
