They vary based on the PCI bus layout, kernel version and a bunch of
other things.  That's why the network startup scripts allow you to
specify the "HWADDR=" to make sure what _you_ want as eth0 stays eth0.
I should think a similar item should be included for network installs.

I've had two different kernels on the same machine swap NICs on me when
I didn't specify the "HWADDR=" in the network configs.  Damned
frustrating, it was!
