Straumann BLX vs TLX Scan Bodies - Are they the same??

Straumann just recently released their new TLX implant system and a question I have already been asked is whether the scan body for the BLX implants will work for the TLX implants.
If you watched my video on the TLX system ( • Introducing Straumann TLX ), I mentioned that the TLX and BLX do share the same internal TorcFit connection. So, this is actually a very good question.
If you look in Straumann's catalog you'll see that there are two separate scan bodies listed. The 065.0035 is listed as the scanbody for BLX implants and the 036.3220 is listed as the scanbody for the TLX implants.
But, if you take a look at each of the scan bodies, they do appear to be exactly the same.
So we took out our calipers and took some measurements. And our measurements appeared to confirm that they were in fact identical. So, as an additional verification, we scanned both of the scan bodies and matched up the 3D images to see if we could find a difference that way. And once again, they looked completely identical.
So we reached out to Straumann about this...
