I was not referring to port bits but to "side-by-side comparison of the  8500<->6510 [which shows that] they are 100% identical", which didn't refer to port bits either. IOW - this is a question if "100% identical [apart from the outer perimeter were the buffers/drivers reside]" refers only to port bits or to the whole chip.
