I just checked with someone at the company, the 5 Vegas Gold and 5 Vegas Gold Maduro are most definitely not the same filler & blends, and Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars, 2009 ed. is incorrect when it lists the 5 Vegas Gold as strictly Honduran filler (as I posted above when taking the info from PPCoC '09), as there is a small amount of Nicaraguan filler in there.

The 5 Vegas Gold Maduro has much more Nicaraguan filler in it.

In addition to that, bear in mind that there are a number of growing regions in these countries and by going to a different region and/or taking a different priming from the plant, it's no longer the same fillers. And, of course there is the obvious that they might not even be the same variety of tobacco to begin with.
