YES. This is generally true of REAL microphone companies, like
ElectroVoice, Sennheiser, AKG, Neumann, and Beyer. Last I heard, EV's
plant was in TN. Sennheiser, AKG, Neumann, and Beyer are German
companies, and I suspect their mics are still manufactured there.

if they didn't use a common element - probably manufactured
off shore - which means the read difference would be in mounting
and the wind screen which would effect handling/wind noise and
not particularly impact the response.
As a long time member of the AES Standards Committee Working Group on
Microphones, I know engineers from most REAL mic mfrs, and I've heard
horror stories of counterfeiting of their products, mostly from China.
They often LOOK absolutely identical, but they are NOT the same and
don't perform the same.
The same is true of connectors -- the common problems with the
counterfeit parts are that they don't mate solidly, dielectrics may melt
when you try to solder them, they may fall apart, they have dissimilar
metals issues.
Companies like Heil and Behringer ARE buying cheap generic capsules and
putting them in fancy housings. Big companies like Yamaha, Panasonic,
and Sony probably DO mfr their own mic capsules and headphones.
