You said they were "exactly the same" circuit boards. You're saying you were able to make that evaluation using multiple tear-down videos that weren't doing a side-by-side?

I'm not the GP poster, but doing a visual comparison, if you've got chips of the same size and shape in the same places, and the same passives in the same places, and the trace routing is also visually the same between them, wouldn't you feel that's pretty definitive?
