really, they fit?

surely they can't be **exactly** the same size by co-incidence?

I'd have thought so. The stanchions are 32mm and the wipers will probably support a variation of somewhere in the region of 1mm, even if it's not an ideal fit.
I don't know about Fox, but the Rock shox internals are all inside the stanchion so it's probably not the hardest thing to 'make' the lowers from another fork fit.
Lastly, it does state that they don't really work too well.

Apparently they do fit and are interchangable - although you have check internal overlap and any interference issues. I haven't done it mind, but I have read about similar 'frankenforks' online.
