Question of Models created by "Create DOE Prototype Building"

"Create DOE Prototype Building", a measure in OpenStudio, provides a lot of prototype building models. Whether the models developed by template, "DOE Ref Pre-1980" and "DOE Ref 1980-2004", are the same as DOE's Commercial Reference Building Models ("pre-1980" and "post-1980)? Also, whether the models developed by template, "90.1-2004", "90.1-2007", "90.1-2010" and "90.1-2013" are the same as DOE's Commercial Prototype Building Models (different ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1)? Thanks.
