No,
They don't have the same horizontal path, and the AOA will not be identical. Does it make any difference? I don't know. Certainly from a flight instruction point of view I would suggest that it is irrelevant.
I'm not even sure if an aeronautical engineer can work out all the factors with 100% accuracy, hence the need for test pilots...
Not suggesting you should not try and understand the underlying physical phenomenon, just be aware your predictions may be wrong
