3. The antique shop and the farmhouse.
4. The general personalities (although, yes, too often flattened).
5. Most of the characters who weren't one-offs
6. By my count, Splinter starting out as a rat is actually more common than him starting out as Yoshi. He is the reincarnation of Yoshi in IDW but he still mutated from a rat.
7. The love triangle from the origin, and of course the origin itself.

Okay, I'll take issue with the following (color coded for ease of differentiation):

April's background is widely varied; half of the main iterations (Fred Wolf, Archie, Nick) have her as a reporter, not a scientist.

And Splinter starting as a rat, let me count...

Yoshi: Fred Wolf, Archie, IDW, Nick
Rat: Mirage, 4Kids

So I'm gonna have to say "nope", Splinter is usually Yoshi first, though it's one of the few issues to almost break even.

Northampton and Second Time Around are consistent across almost all versions, though; I'll give you that one.

And the love triangle origin of Saki (Nagi), Yoshi, and Tang Shen is most always used, except Fred Wolf. So yes, that one, too. (I don't think Nagi/Saki is worth nitpicking for this exercise here.)
