This also seems really logical, but I just checked an OE ATe tandem MC and my 
straight M10 x 1 tap fits equally snugly in all 5 tapped ports, right from the 
start. If you check the Machinery's Handbook, they say that a tapered male pipe 
thread into a straight female pipe thread is an acceptable sealing thread.

BTW the holes for the brake switches, the ones on the left, are drilled about 
3mm, while the 3 holes for the hard lines are drilled about 1mm.
