Not even close. If you saw the two next to one another, they wouldn't look anything like each other. Have you ever seen those Photoshop exercises where they take a picture of a beautiful woman and then "slightly" change the relationships between her eyes, nose line, chin, and eyes? And, with just a couple of very small changes, she is no longer beautiful.

and which of the both moulds is more original?

Are the difference between the molds just with the 427s? I know the chassis are different on the 427 cars ( round vs square tube) but the SPF used the 3” round tube and leaf spring suspension on it 289 FIA and Slabside just like the CSX continuation cars. Curious if those molds were the same.

Yes,

The SPF and Shelby 289s are the same save for some items such as the differentials, brake caliper markings and some other minor items.
