NIST data - "Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions with Relative Atomic Masses" which may be obtained by selecting the options "All Elements" and "All isotopes" - contains many patterns, some of which are more difficult to find than others.
The following examples may reflect distinct multiples of available energy bands - analogous to the series of emission spectrum known as the Balmer series discovered for hydrogen atoms - and that were eventually explained, firstly with Bohr's model of discrete electron shells of atoms.

Repeating the above calculations for the two pairs of differences in relative atomic masses of Yttrium-98 and Yttrium-99, and of Yttrium-80 and Yttrium-81 shows the difference between those differences is 0.0066664 which is two times the figure from the calculcation above.
Repeating the above calculations for the two pairs of differences in relative atomic masses of Erbium-167 and Erbium-168, and of Holmium-165 and Holmium-165 shows the difference between those differences is 0.0016666 which is one-half the figure from the calculcation above:
