No they are not the same. Yes, similar and still have the look for drivers and those who can't find NOS. I'll take some pics later.
Original is the way to go. Have a set or two of those as well but not for sale.
Just wanted to let members know that the look is still available. Call 630-377-1222 for size availabliity and pricing.
