I don't think it has been confirmed either way.

knc1 has written that same version on different devices is different.

The only test I know of was done on an Oasis 3, whose 5.12 probably predates the 5.12 delivered to older devices. In that case the update blocker seems to work in the sense that no update happens but that power use skyrockets.

I have not read of any controlled update block tests for 5.12.x on anything else.
