Do dust mask filters have a standard bayonet fitting

I have a MSA half mask I wear when using CA glue. Does any one know if the filters that fit other masks will fit this? As far as I can tell MSA doesn't make a plain dust filter, which is what I would prefer to use when sanding. Is the bayonet fitting standard across al mask manufacturers?
 
In my experience, once you’re on a brand, say 3M vs. Honeywell/North vs. Sundstrom, that brand uniquely defines the filter physical interface. That said, doing a little searching around I was able to find third-party P100 filters, for example, for North system masks. The main problem with those is vetting them for actual filtration quality, since they tend to be from random sellers from China on Amazon rather than known-quantity filter makers.

So in short: there are no cross-brand standards for these filters.
