I think the X-Men Adventures comic would have to be (Adventures of the X-Men #8 involves Gambit and his brother is not just a sequel, but has a footnote that refers back to X-Men Adventures II #6, which itself is an adaptation of "X-Ternally Yours"). I just have a better memory of the Spider-Man cartoon show since I never got to see many episodes of the X-Men back when it first aired. But I've been trying to catch up with it and will try to note any changes between the episodes and their adaptations (unless someone else does it first, which is also good).

The reason I think that Spider-Man Adventures can't really be on Earth-92131 comes down to two things:
 * On the show, Otto Octavius was Peter's science teacher. In the comic, Otto was never Peter's science teacher and worked at Oscorp.  The latter got brought up again in the comic when Otto became Dr. Octopus (Peter only mentions that he met him at Oscorp and not at a science camp).
 * After the Hobgoblin and Chameleon adaptations, Spider-Man Adventures #14 has Peter and Harry aware that Wilson Fisk is not the clean-cut philanthropist he makes himself appear to be. If cartoon Peter even suspected Wilson was the Kingpin, he would never have taken that job Richard Fisk offered on the show that led to the frame-up.  On top of that, Peter's suspicions of Fisk sets the events of Adventures of Spider-Man #7-8 in motion (and #7 had references specific to Spider-Man: The Animated Series/Spider-Man Adventures, like Kingpin using Smythe and Hobgoblin, or Terri Lee mentioning the Mysterio case), so there's a link between Spider-Man Adventures and Adventures of Spider-Man.

Now, I could let certain changes slide, like for instance Spider-Man Adventures' Felicia Hardy having white hair in the comic adaptations when in the cartoon she was blonde. That alone wouldn't have been enough to divert the Spider-Man Adventures Earth from Earth-92131. But those two incidents plus some other changes (like Eddie Brock not learning Connors is Lizard) piling up, plus the "Adventures of" series having ties back to episodes that were adapted by the previous Adventures comics, make it arguable that Spider-Man Adventures and X-Men Adventures take place on the same Earth as the "Adventures of" series rather than Earth-92131.
