Would they be the same? And fit both cars?

might be a benefit of putting one on the other...

I don't know about standard stuff, but if you look at things like dbilas, they have different product code's on the things for the C and the B, stating the B inlet manifold can fit the corsa B and the tigra B or something and the Corsa C stuff can fit the C, and the astra?
perhaps its to do with the size and shape of the engine bay...

Depends I'd imagine - I know there was the long running debate with some of the later B's having the 75bhp 1.2 instead of the 65bhp version but nonetheless, the inlet sizes would still be the same would they not?

Not sure if it'd make a difference to the manifold or not, but remeber that the C's have Drive-by-wire throttle bodies, not cable driven like the B's .
