You find a very partial answer in the comparison here:
http://p2ada.sourceforge.net/pascada.htm#tables
Made around year 2000, so ~30 after original Pascal but ~20 years ago.
Note that both FPC and Delphi descend from Turbo Pascal, which is itself completely different from other extensions like ISO Extended Pascal.
In a nutshell, Pascal is an extreme example of fragmentation of a language into dialects.
Ada is on the other extremity: you can build the same source sets (I mean exactly the same sources, without preprocessing gimmicks) on completely different compilers & OSes.
