I think modern tripod/camera threads are all UNC, but with wide enough tolerances that they mate with Whitworth.
One factor that affects inter-matability is length of engagement, and tripod screws are very short.
The Whitworth threadform was quite popular with Leitz. They may be the ones who standardized on it for tripods.
