I don't have a bracket for the Standard, so I cannot compare. The Home bracket is 2 inches in overall length. From the INSIDE of the inner tab (the inner surface of the cabinet front) to the beginning of the hole is 1 ⅜".

My Standard bracket is slightly longer. 2 ¼ inches in overall length. From the inside of the inner tab to the beginning of the hole is about 1 ⅝ inches.

I’ve had plans to write about the Peter Weber Edison cranes but just haven’t gotten around to it. Attached is a photo showing the first style crane brackets with correct first style crane foot that does not have a positioning pin in the center.
