Not really true.  The basic potmetal casting is the same, but noted 
in this auction listing, it has screw holes above the faceplate 
instead of studs on top.  Countersunk machine screws secure it to the 
underside of the vehicle's instrument panel, ideally with that 
bracket that Bill mentioned but it works just as well without it.
