Most likely they are not the same. I know that from '91 and newer the ZR-1 ECM's are not the same as used in the TPI cars.
If the '90 ZR-1 is SFI, which I believe all ZR-1's are, then it is a different ECM then the '90 TPI. The TPI ECMs are all batch fire.

The '90 & '91 ZR-1 used the 1228331 ECM.
The '92 through '95 ZR-1 used the 16163993 ECM.
Which neither of is used in a TPI setup.
The MEMCAL may be interchangeable. But as you mention the mask/code is completely different.
