You never know for sure, since these off-brands could theoretically change

Be aware that there is a big difference between an E11 and and R13. I am not
saying they are bad, in any way, but for someone to make a 1 to 1 comparison
is very misleading. I have not seen an Accent, but it is highly probable
that an Accent is not equivalent to a Buffet R13.
