Does the GDC use common exomes across all whole exome platforms?

There is a variety of target capture kits used by different sequencing centers. Most of the whole exome capture kits share many common genomic regions, especially for cancer related genes; However, which exons are included is totally dependent on the vendor's library preparation kit. There are often more differences among capture regions from different Targeted-Sequencing/Panel data.

The name of the capture kit used is available from the GDC read group properties. However, the GDC does not distribute the BED files for the read groups associated with these capture kits because some of them are proprietary.
