Look-Alike Sets

2 other sets reuse the 3D models of Brutal Gladiator's Dreadplate Armor’s head and shoulder, most shared models first:

Onslaught Battlegear (The Burning Crusade, 18 pieces): the same head and shoulder models, recoloured.
Lightbringer Battlegear (The Burning Crusade, 20 pieces): the same head and shoulder models, recoloured.

Matched in the game files: each piece’s ItemDisplayInfo names its 3D model and texture. The same model with another texture is a recolour. Only pieces with a 3D model of their own (helms, shoulders, cloaks, weapons, shields, off-hands and some belts and robes) can be compared this way; pieces drawn from textures alone are left out.
