The Pickup Place / Re: Chopper and Chopper T exact same pup minus the baseplate?

Yeah, someone from DiMarzio contacted me and told me that they were exactly the same except for the shape of the baseplate.  Often Tele baseplates are not only a different shape, but they are constructed differently as well.  The as someone else mentioned, the bobbin sizes between tele and strat pickups are different.  However, this does not seem to be so for the Chopper and Chopper T.  The ony difference between the two is the shape of the baseplate.

The Pickup Place / Chopper and Chopper T exact same pup minus the baseplate?

I can't seem to find specific information on this...  Are the Chopper (bridge, strat style) and the Chopper T (bridge, tele-stle base plate) the exact same pickup with the exception of the shape of the base plate?

I love the sound of the Chopper T in Richie Kotzens sig tele and was thinking of putting one in my own swamp ash guitar, but if they are the exact same, I'd prefer to use the Chopper vs the Chopper T for routing and aesthetic reasons (no pickguard).

TIA!
