Euro 7.2 (German) and Orion 5.5 (Swedish) are the two common European air profiles and they look alike but do not interchange. An Orion plug will not seat properly in a Euro coupler. Decide which profile your workshop runs and keep both ends the same.
Similar size and shape is exactly the trap. The nominal 7.2 versus 5.5 mm difference means the ball groove does not line up; match the profile, not the look.
