There's an infinite number of combinations (provided by the laws of physics) that would result in a constant 50-ohm connector impedence that could have been chosen for the BNC. But only one of those mates well with an N connector. I still think having the same designer probably helped in that department.
Perhaps. Usually the selected dimensions have more to do with the dimensions of the coax that one is trying to terminate.
And if you plug a BNC male into an 'N' female it sure doesn't look like it will still be a constant impedance connector combination any more. It may work but it certainly won't work well.
So the answer is 42.
