Can't comment on FBW aircraft but whilst all a/c have very tight "interchangeability" limits 9which allows one part from an aircraft to be replaced by another from stock - unlike hand made cars) they are all different. Look at the weights and no two are the same (and this changes through an aircrafts life). Some will need different amounts of trim ...have better climb performance etc.
