They are different. The swivel in opposite directions
Don't bother, fit Sportscraft swivels. At least with those you will be able to swivel both seats without unlatching the front doors.
I ordered a van with factory swivels and was disappointed in that I had to unlatch the doors to swivel the seats. All the others that I have done have had Sportscraft swivels.
I now have a MAN TGE with factory swivels and have the same problem.

General question about any single seat swivel base?
Aftermarket ones will always raise the height as they go between the seat and the base.
You will also lose the ability to height adjust as the side seats trims will block the swivel when down.
You can buy aftermarket shortened bases to address some of these issues but you can't always use those if you need the space for your leisure electrics.
Additionally you'll need to lower your handbrake mounting.

Changing OEM Swivel base for OEM height adjustable base?
Howdy, long time lurker, joined in Nov22 with my new to me T6 Kombi. Driver seat has the OEM swivel base, never going to used and I just don't like lack of height adjustment. I found a few new/used OEM height adjustable bases online - 7E0 881 618 B (image below) - is it feasible to change the...

I'm about to buy a lower base and Sportscraft swivel for the front passenger seat of my Caravelle. I have electric heated seats, is there a way to retain the heated seat wiring and have a swivel or do I need to leave the heater cabling unplugged?
Not been able to find the answer by searching etc.

I can't be sure but I think you can make the original wiring loom reach through the hole in the centre of the swivel although you may have to leave it un-clipped. If that's the case be sure that it cannot get trapped when the seat is rotated.
Unless the extra height, which is not much, is a problem to you I would not bother with the lowered base, also be aware of the electrics existing under the left front seat and that you have all of the bracketry to refit all of that on your lowered base if you go for it.
