It is the same pilot signal here. However, the frequency accuracy leaves
something to be desired. The tolerance in the U.S. is plus-or-minus 2Hz.
Most stations do much better than that, but I'm not sure I would trust it as
a reference. For most broadcasters, the stereo pilot is one of those "out of
sight, out of mind" things.
