Probably has more to do with marketing than facts. The bodies, however, are not of the same thickness and some shimming might be needed. The lenses are designed for that. There is an area with shims that can be thickened or thinned as need be in most lenses. This was necessary because Contaxes (that Kievs are replicas of) never really got the standards down pat for dimensions of a camera body.
