Look-Alike Sets

7 other sets reuse the 3D models of Standard of the Guardian’s head, most shared models first:

Inherited Gear (Dragonflight, 9 pieces): the same head model, recoloured.
Suffused Attire (Dragonflight, 27 pieces): the same head model, recoloured.
Zaralek Surveyor's Expedition Gear (Dragonflight, 18 pieces): the same head model, 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.
