Ford V10 Triton Drivetrain

I was looking at documentation and I have a question about the Ford V10 drivetrain. Does anyone know if the entire drivetrain used in a Class C the same as a Class A? Do they have the same transmission? We are looking at Class As and are wondering if we were to buy an older Class C would it have the same drivetrain as a Class A from the same year.
Class A

    My 2007 'C' had the 5 Speed. My 2016 'A' has the 6 Speed, really like it.

    The 5 speed has it quirks but it is a solid transmission. Either way I wouldn't let the transmission be your deciding factor.

    The three valve cylinder heads for the V10 are too big to fit inside the E series engine dog house.

    Up until 2005 both A’s and C’s had the same drivetrain V-10 4speed. Around 06 I think the they got the 5 speed auto. The class C though never got the 3valve Triton the A’s got. Around 2017 or so the V-10 got the 6 speed auto. I may be off in my years by 1.
