Is there any difference in a R-12, R-22, and R134a Air conditioning manifold and gauge besides the connectors?...Can one manifold be used with these three refrigerants with the appropriate adaptors?

You have different oils between 22-12 and 134.
If they get mixed you will damage the compressor seals

Also the pressures are different betwen them.

Yes one set of gauges can be used for all 3 refrigerants but as said you don't want to mix refrigerants and oils.

In yellow jacket. Same thing in the Imperial.
like said make D** sure you blow clean the hose
when you go to another freon
