Lucida Bright fonts

I own a license for the Lucida Bright font family (including the math
fonts and expert fonts) that I got as part of a Y&Y TeX system several
years ago.

These same fonts are now available elsewhere, e.g., from Personal TeX,
Inc.  And support files are available to use the fonts with other TeX
distributions.

Question: Is there something special about the internal encoding in the
pbf (or pfm) files as distributed by Y&Y?  Or are those files identical
to the ones available elsewhere?

Note that I am unable to readily check this on my system, even though I
downloaded for evaluation the fonts as distributed by Personal TeX.  The
reason is that I'm using Adobe Font Manager Deluxe (4.1), and since the
Y&Y-distributed fonts are already controlled by it, ATM will not even
allow me to check pfb's even by double-clicking (ATM tells me I cannot
do this, since another copy of the font is already installed elsewhere).
