Your "eastern King" , "californian king" are by definition not a normal "king double" so can be some other dimensions
No, they don't apply worldwide, but I understand that they apply in this case.

The 60" width your standards call King is called Queen in the US. In the US, King can be either Eastern king or California king, but never this 60" "king double." Because that would be a queen.
