They aren't the same. They are as said above, split is reversed from mondeo compared to RS.
You can not mate a Mondeo transfer box to a Escort MTX75 either as they differ also.
Lots of dirrerances between the two systems not just strength but I do agree, the Mondeo running gear is slightly stronger than the RS equivelent.
