They are and they aren't.... the 339 is really a development of the 326 with a modified front fuselage and certain features of the 326K but retaining the same wings. The old Supermodel kits exploited this by having a common sprue for the wings and separate sprues for the 326, 326K, 339 and 339K carrying the fuselage, equilibrator and other parts

 

KP could easily do something similar, Afterall they are proposing a family of S.211/M345 even if there are differences between these two aircraft and they could be considered different types

KP/AZ in these last years reboxed Italeri Mil24 Hind, B25, JAS39 so ....
