Ok now I have your views I am going to post my test results.

I hung a 50 kg weight on the centre of an axle and from two bearing hangers accurately spaced at the correct width. with a metric dial test indicator zero'd with no weight.

The deflection was as follows :-
Genuine otk Hard 0.38mm
Genuine otk Soft 0.36mm
Genuine otk medium 0.38mm
pattern otk medium (dartford Karting) 0.36mm

I think the variation of 0.02 is purely accuracy of the bore to the outside and nothing to do with materials.

I must add these are 30mm axles and I will be testing 50mm, but wow the hard flexed more than the soft !!! OR ARE THEY ALL THE SAME MATERIAL !
