Identical in the French built cars and U.K./European market. Hence my bold.

Cars built for the U.S. prior to the supply of French cars could well have a more locally sourced supply of the cabin/pollen filter housing during manufacture. Therefore, depending on where built, there could well be a difference.
I can only write re personal experience with a 2010 Mk2 and a 2014 Mk3.
