Are all Orbit Turns done at 30deg angle of bank, regardless of speed/type etc?

Simply checked in a small Mission for a CIRCLE orbit with some plane at different speed:

They have  not always a 30deg of bank! The bank depends on the speed.

They do a 2 minute standard turn!

This is a 3 degrees per second turn.

Thank you so very much! I was wondering how to quickly determine this and was stuck.

3deg per sec is perfect... I just need a way to find the pitch, roll and yaw now... I know it's in the table as x y and z I just have to work it out from here:
