To clarify: The only ones I've actually had in pieces were a Nikon 70-300 (or 75-300) and the corresponding Tamron. Absolutely identical internally and externally.
It's possible that Nikon has changed to sourcing some lenses from Tamron recently since their former supplier, Kyocera, is going out of the camera and lens business.
BTW, Tamron is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony. Bob
