Yeah, that's very likely actually. I'm sure you're correct. I guess when you're under the impression the same company built them, you start to see things through that lens. The position of a clock on a structural beyond-the-top-floor minitower, the turrets in the corners, those aren't that generic, but the rest of the features I found similar at first sight (for example, the top floor having rounded windows) are indeed just common in Victorian office buildings.
