Is there much difference between the Normandy 4 and Noblet 4 from the 2000s?

As the title says, I know Leblanc made many Normandy series and Noblet 40, etc in the 1900s. However, I'm talking about the last few years of Leblanc before being bought by Selmer in the 2000s.

I read on this forum that the Noblet 4 of the early/mid 2000s is the same as the Normandy 4 just rebranded...?

I'm talking about the Normandy/Noblet 4s that have the bell logo with a circle and the name in all caps followed by Leblanc France under. As seen in attached files.

Is ther emuch difference between these two clarinets? I know Noblet used to be a higher level model back in the 1900s but are these from the 2000s basically the same or is the Noblet still higher level?

Per the following old BB thread, they are the same.
