Can't confirm that they are the same. However, when I cracked mine (changing the cold idle thermostat) on a Saturday afternoon, I repaired it very successfully (still in use after 2 years) with Araldite having very thoroughly degreased the cover with hot Fairy (powder) and then with IPA (isopropanol not India Pale Ale!).
