There is no difference between them, other than one is a 767, and the other a 737. So, identical. Except not.
And one is an antisubmarine warefare aircraft while the other is an aerial refueling platform. So identical. No differences. Except, not.
Boeing also produces the V-22 Opsrey and Echo Voyager unmanned submarine. Also not the same, but same manufacturer.
One might be forgiven for the observation that USN vs. USAF as customers, is NOT the only difference.
