To answer your question "Nearly" L.P. but hang on this is going to be a bumpy ride!
There have been twelve standard pitches for the note that we now call concert 'A' and at numerous different temperatures.
Military Brass band instruments used to be HP high pitch and you can see this marked on the bell of some instruments like the Besson Flugelhorns.
There were two pitches that instruments were designed for prior to WWI the most commonly used were:
The French concert pitch of A=435 Hz
High pitch or "military pitch" of A = 452 Hz
Standardisation came about with the agreement of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War One when the "Concert Pitch"of A = 440 Hz was agreed.
Here is the "Treaty of Versailles" reference:
