Yes in general. My highest score is Transunion, followed by Equifax and then Experian. But the last time I checked my scores I had a 717 on EQ, 723 on TU, but I do not know about my EX score. But I guess it depends, but for me, EX has always been my lowest score while TU has always been my highest.

Some of those scores are probably not real FICO scores. Depends on where you're getting them. So they could be wildly different, depending on the algorithm of the source.
You'll also notice inquiries don't generally hit all three bureaus, so that can make a difference.
And "never paying late" has very little to do with utilization, since that usually depends on statement balance. (But that would tend to be about the same across all bureaus.)

credit inquiries from certain credit card issuers (amex and chase especially) will accrue exclusively to experian and not the others based on your state, which can lead to situations where you might have 12 inquiries (and therefore a lower score) with experian while looking great on creditkarma's fako score from transunion because your applications resulted in 0 inquiries with transunion. if you live in a state where citi pulls equifax, the bureaus actually pulled by different issuers may partially explain some of the score differentials. those trying to manage the balance of credit inquiries across the big 3 for the two years they appear on their reports can mitigate these effects in a few different ways... check creditboards.com for more information
