Servo Spline Type?

Hello, Hopping to find a quick answer. What "style" of spline are the EZ-Robot servos (Standard and HD)? Futaba? Hitec? I need to order some adapters for my super easy Omnibot arms setup. Any help would be great. I'm stuck at work, so I can't go look at the actual servos to search them out.
