Not to say that the capsules aren't different (they are very different. my reference capsule is much different than any recent K67 or K87. It doesn't even have the same chamber size) but this isn't really how it works. "Frequency response" doesn't exist in the sense that you're using it here...The two capsules respond differently to the space because they have moderately different proximity and polar behavior, even if they had the same FR in free field. That's if everything else was matched, which it wasn't.Even if it's two different takes, the same microphone in a well-treated room will never give such a difference in frequency response.
Clearly, soliloqueen's capsule differs from the original Neuman. And different doesn't mean inferior!
