i have been working on a system that had a lot of orbit heads that look like PGP's...all though i have noticed they looked very similar (if not the exact same) in the past, i have never tried to swap nozzles, so i tried today...looks like the nozzles are interchangeable...

does anyone know why they are so similar? and if the nozzles are the same?

This would be the norm for any head made at the parent factory. It would be too expensive to set up a supply chain of inferior material.
Hunter also told us that the Orbit head that looks like the PGM is made in their San Marcos plant. It's the same basic design except a green plastic logo cap and a different adjustment to allow use of a screwdriver to set the arc. Not sure if that one also made the move to Mexico.
