Metric thread web calculator variances

I thought I made a prior typo error, but now that I input the exact same (custom) metric thread into 3 different web calculators I've bookmarked, I see they are giving me slightly different answers.
Has anyone had this same issue? For example M30 x 1 6g (external) just comparing major diameter & pitch diameter to spot check. If the calculator provides a min/max I averaged the two just for spot check

Ok, here goes: using the M Profile Screw Thread limits from the MH 29th edition, pages 1878 to 1900, and comparing with tabulated values for the standard M30x1.5-6g thread size, we get the following values for:

M30X1.0-6g

MAX MAJOR DIA.: 29.974
MIN MAJOR DIA.: 29.794
MAX PITCH DIA.: 29.324
MIN PITCH DIA.: 29.199

Thanks.... I think! :/
I made a typo on the Ames PD, now corrected, so this how they compare. I would never expected any discrepancy, but obviously there are subtleties to the standards or sources?
Close enough for what I need but I'll have to pay attention to this. Might explain when I was doing my CAD generate threads from formulas, they were a bit off.
