Yes, the D-series can be played very well on boehm clarinets.

There have never been different tenon versions of the M30D and B40D.
Different tenon sizes were offered (still offered) for their German and Austrian mpcs: VD and VA range.

The M30D and B40D (and now BD5D) were basically designed for using French reeds on German clarinets which has become quite popular in Germany, Holland and so on. However, Vandoren was quite smart to make the tenon size not too big so that it still fits in a French barrel. To fit the wider German barrel thick soft cork is used. The tenon is about 1 mm longer to fit the German barrel. So that's why it sticks out a French barrel a bit. Not a big problem and if you have tuning issues you can shorten the mpc easlily.

The facings feel different and the mpc material seems also different compared to the normal French mpcs. The sound is not 'chocolate' imo but there are some overtones present that make these mpcs give their specific sound color.

I have used the B40D on Wurlitzer clarinets and on the moment I use a B40D on Boosey & Hawkes clarinets.
