  They should be close.  The FA had a turbocharged V12-244 engine.  The PA has a turbocharged V16-244 engine.  I would expect that the sound might be a little more 'throaty'....BTW, what sound decoders are you looking at?  You need to add in the correct bell/horn soulds as well as the actual power plant sounds.
