Yes, they all have same product number.

They are one IP.

The difference is feature set it's enabled by fusing in silicon.

For example, GPY115 has 10/100/1000Mbps support, so in the ability 
register 2.5G capable is 0.

GPY211 has 10/100/1000/2500Mbps support, so in the capability register 
2.5G capable is 1.
