There is so to speak. But beyond that there are manufacturers making things in specific regions as such if you operate in an area it makes sense that you use units that can be easily supplied with replacement parts. No supplier for your stuff and the attrition of your situation will run you space poor quick.
Of course this depends on how "true" to the game you play too.
To some an AC/5 is an Ac/5. But to others the Mydron C autocannon (Ac/5) is not a GM Whirlwind/5 and thus completely incompatible with my Marauder...for example. Even if it were then my own ammo would be worthless since they Dont take the same shells.
Sounds like you've been to one of the sessions of my group... for example, when my Warhammer 6R lost one of her PPC's it became a mission and a half to loot not just a correct manufacturer but a correct era PPC to replace it with our a drawback in performance...
