griots 3" orange pads?

Are the 3" orange pads from Griot's the same cut as the orange LC pads?

I have a 6" orange LC pad and a Griot's 3" orange in my hand, and the LC feels firmer and less soft. I'd say it has more cut. This would be consistent with my experience with the 6" Griot's pads as well - noticed that the orange LC pads was more effective.
