Do Eucharistic miracles all have the same DNA?

You're correct in saying that in Echaristic miracles, the "accidents also turned into what appears to us to be physical flesh and blood."

St. Thomas Aquinas discusses Eucharistic miracles in Summa Theologica III q. 76 a. 8 "Whether Christ's body is truly there when flesh or a child appears miraculously in this sacrament?"; in Eucharistic miracles (co.),

while the dimensions [of the Host or Blood] remain the same as before, there is a miraculous change wrought in the other accidents, such as shape, color, and the rest, so that flesh, or blood, or a child, is seen.

Accidents inhere in a subject; but with transubstantiation, after consecration, God holds the accidents of bread and wine in existence despite their not inhering in a subject, which is now Christ's Body, Blood, soul, and divinity; this is one of the three mysteries of transubstantiation. In Eucharistic miracles, the accidents are those of flesh and blood.

all but the 1st ΒΆ above from this answer to the question "How can Catholics who adhere to Eucharistic Miracles claim the distinction between substance and accidents?"
