They are, at least in '06 they were according to Ducati.

First year S4R had it's own part#, and first year S2R800 had it's own number that was then used across all S*R models for several years.

S4Rs and S4Rt had slightly different part number, most likely because they were black instead of silver.

And the later models had again a slightly different part number.

I don't think there's any significant differences between them, the interfacing parts are the same other than cosmetic /non-functional differences.

Oddly enough, I happen to have both S2R800 and S4R swingarms in the shop from '05 models.
Both have the same part number on the front casting.

Ther's a slight visual difference on the welding, but IMO that means nothing more than a different welder or batch.
