Yes, the pods are the same on all the ships (NSL, FSE, NAC and yes, 
there will be some ESU ones soon).....

PSB reason: at some rare moment in which they weren't all actively 
fighting each other, the Major Powers agreed on a standard spec for 
military cargo/tanker modules - it simplifies resupply between 
allies, and the fact that this means anyone's captured pods can be 
carried off by the enemy is balanced out by the fact that  it works 
both ways.....

Real Life reason: ease of manufacture and customisation potential!  ;-)

You COULD drill a small hole into both the pod and its mounting point 
and inset very small round magnets, or you could possibly get away 
with magnetic strip and steel paper, though this would of course make 
the pods stand a little proud of their normal positions.
