Yes, they are exactly the same – I actually had a Focus sedan loaner while they fixed the RS and the covers are exactly the same. The service agent didn’t tell me exactly what is changing in these new covers but between my 1st and 2nd visit to the dealer they had more info from Corp on the cover issues and that was the message they got, and the parts were already pre-ordered for my car.
Shockingly the fit and finish on the Fiesta’s A-pillar covers are much better in comparison. The covers on the Focus are basically held together by only two clamps at the top and nothing at the bottom. Try pushing and pulling it at the bottom and you’ll see.
I was discussing this with a technician at the dealer and we basically came to the same theory: the RS will vibrate and shake much more than a regular Focus and this will make things squeak and rattle pretty fast, specially if daily drive it in not so good pavement.
