They are the same as the ones we have in Ireland and thanks for posting them Evacuee. I got a list of them from the jewellers where my husband bought my wedding ring but I have mislaid it(the dates, not the ring). I will pass this list on to my offspring and hey can look up the internet for the missing ones.

As much as I know from tradition here is mostly 25 silver, 50 gold and 75 diamond. There must be other anniversaries but not many that people celebrate aside from those 3 above. I remember people in my homeland celebrate bronze for 10 years then silver, gold and diamond.
