Pretty much.

May not have the same mounting screws, however.
Example: I physically removed the floppy in my Beige G3/300 so I could put a
hard drive into that position.
I made a cable which extends to the 20-pin header to a 19-pin D-Sub on the
back of the machine.
Into that 19-pin D-Sub is plugged an ordinary FDHD that I bought decades ago
with my SE/30.
So, all floppies from the earliest FDHD on are *functionally* the same ...
although there are several different physical types.
