I don't see how they can match exactly, since the weight, size, height etc of the two different "moon walkers" would be impossible to accurately quantify just by looking a a film clip. What I believe you mean is that they "look" similar?
And in this regard I dare say that there are a number of theatrical clothing outlets used by film-makers that have quantities of the same looking space suit for rent -- just as one can rent Darth Vader outfits for fancy dress parties.
A current TV advert in the UK uses what looks to me to be an identical suit for Star Wars characters R2D2 and 3CPO.
The magic of cinema...
