Note that this would not conclusively confirm that the K4PC PID is the same as the iPhone. An alternative explanation is that both the K4PC PID and the Touch PID are in the AZW ebook. However, previous AZW ebooks only seemed to contain one PID.

I can assure you with absolute certainty as an owner of Kindle 2, Kindle for iPhone, and Kindle for PC, none of those three share the same PID. I have successfully ripped DRM from Kindle 2 and Kindle for iPhone using their respective PIDs. The same books from the Kindle for PC can not be decrypted with the PID from either Kindle 2 or Kindle for iPhone.
And yes, this had already been established (and, as a matter of logic, should not be surprising.)
The fact is, every entity registered into the Kindle system, the listing you can see when you go to the site to "Manage Kindle," represents a unique encryption target and, assuming they all use the same type of encryption (no special reason this would be required, even within the mobi basic file format,) they'll all have unique PIDs too.
The only thing close to an overlap is the direct download link from your "owned" books listing which is intended for manually loading books onto a Kindle/Kindle 2 and I would imagine that if you had multiple standard Kindles on your account that link would be duplicated for each one.
