No they are not the same.
The PP Dust shields are physically larger than the Base dust shield to accommodate the larger rotors. They have distinct part numbers for each set. I swapped out to PP Dust shields when I installed my BBK.
Often, people elect to remove their front dust shields out of convenience (and potentially improved cooling).
When people say they "modify" the base dust shields to get a BBK to fit, they usually refer to the rear dust shields. Some people elect to just trim the rear dust shield as a matter of convenience, since to replace the rear dust shield requires removing the parking brake assembly, slip the rear axle away, and remove it from the rear wheel hub IIRC. Since the rear dust shield is pretty much the carrier for the parking brake, they are pretty expensive (~$90 each new) compared to the front dust shields (~$20 each)
