Yes, they are the same when comparing the newer versions with plastic side frames. That is all the 4-wheel trucks are identical except for the side frames. Likewise, the 6 wheel trucks are identical except for the side frame as well.
The exception is the TM and PA trucks have very different wheel spacings. But I don't know if those were ever made with plastic side frames.
