Is There an Accurate Shot Size Comparison UK vs US?

Your biggest problem will be finding anything with the correct English sizes for a start.

As far as I'm aware, there is no such animal.  There is no standard for 'English' sizes. 

In other words, what's correct to you isn't to someone else, and neither of you are wrong.

Again, manufacturers should just cut the ambiguity and list the dia in mm on their boxes.

And if you think metric is blasphemy, well, I've got bad news for you: we live in a heliocentric universe, we evolved from apes, and the earth is round.

Standardisation is based upon shotcount per OZ. 

Thats how shot # is determined.

By standardisation I mean defined in an actual document - a standard - published by a recognized standards body or trade association.

This is my point, I'm not aware of such a document existing, and absent the above, manufacturers will do what they want.  And nobody  is wrong. 

As others have pointed out, the phessie or bunny doesn't care if you point the gun in the right place...

So are my dinner plates. One has a chip on the edge from when I dropped my fork and it fell off the edge. ;)
