Look-Alike Sets

1 other set reuses the 3D models of Mettle of Maldraxxus’s head, shoulder, chest, legs, feet and hands, most shared models first:

Authority of Maldraxxus (Shadowlands, 9 pieces): the same head, shoulder, chest, legs, feet and hands 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.
