My experience is that They look the same, but they backspacing is shallower. I found out when I tried to put wagon wheels that were on a late 80s junkyard Wagon, they hit on the rear. Had to go looking for some shallower wheels, wasn't super hard way back then, happened accross a first gen brat with these wheels. but I had to start taking a tape measure.

Its more obvious with the standard Steelies than the wagon wheels, they appear to have even more backspacing differences, with a third option that I cant seem to track any consistent placement on. Basically ~4.5 for first gen, ~5 or ~5.5 on the later models.

Ill be selling my steelies once I have a chance to knock the dust off them.
