I can tell you that the materials of the two 3M masks are vastly different. The fit virtually is the same. In fact, the N95 has a slightly better fit as it doesn't use those faulty red rubber bands that the FFP3 does - it has a tighter pull by using a woven elastic cord instead.

There are two spots for leakage - the nose fit and the neck, but both do a great job and come with a tab for the neck so that you can adjust if it gets loose.

OTOH the seal for the 3M N100 is really quite superior over the N95’s and N99’s (effectively making it a different fit). Though it’s valved, so it only filters inhalation, not exhalation.
