From the point of view of ISO 10646 the two sequences are not the same.
I agree that Unicode has them as canonically equivalent (for what it
is worth).

from a ISO 14651 point of view they are almost equvalent, up
to level 3 (inclusive) and they are only differentiated at
level 4. My information is that Unicode has the same differentiation.
