Can we leave this pointless speculation?
The flight was in cruise before the event, so the AoA probe won't have frozen at a high/inappropriate angle of attack.
There was no CB/Thunderstorm in that area if we can trust any Information available. so no icing to be expected at cruise altitude. Had they frozen during climb, the Problem would have manifested itself earlier.
Therefore no significant similarities regarding surrounding conditions.
And the AD covering this incident should have been communicated to all crews describing how to handle such an Event, should it occur.
