pattress boxes

Hello,

Why is it that metal back boxes come in 25mm, 35mm, and 47mm sizes but surface mount pattress boxes only come in 25mm and 47mm sizes?

I would like to wire a spur and I wasn't sure that a 25mm box would give me enough room for the cables; a 35mm box would have been better. Will a 25mm box be a tight fit?

I see Toolstation sell 32mm boxes but they are the same size as Wickes' 25mm boxes so perhaps one measures internal depth and the other external depth?

Thanks, Stephen.

I've only ever seen external depth quoted. There is much more choice about than just 2 depths.
