Default BNC connectors 75 Ohm versus 50 Ohm?

No the size of the center conductor pin is different between 75 and 50
ohm connectors and will either make bad contact or damage the socket.

Not in years, they used to be made with different sized pins but now
rely on different dielectrics for impedance.

Who used to get yelled at by his boss for inserting 50 ohm males into
75 ohm females.
