Many of the Nikon cameras can use a screw in, threaded, type of eyepiece correction to allow good focusing by those of us who wear glasses. Fron what I have seen, one thread fits all. However viewing ebay and Nikon boxes for these corrective lens they specify for specific cameras. Is there truly a difference or are all +1 corrective eyepieces made to fit all Nikon cameras that have the screw in type of eyepice correction? I have seen some cosmetic differences, but is that the extent of it?

It depends on which Nikon model.
To my certain knowledge the the Nikon F2 and F3 use an identical circular screw-on. Some other Nikon models (such as the FG20) use a "slide-on" which mates in the side-grooves of the rectangular occular.

Nikon made a wide range of dioptre correction lenses. They are not confined to the
+1" Dioptre spec which you mention.

Some of the F2 and F3 screw-in mounts had free interchangeable optic - whilst others were part of the screw-in mount.

Hope this helps .... a bit.
