A friend asked me are they optically exactly the same.

That comparison is brought up a few times on the-digital-picture:

"Let's first compare the RF 24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z to the RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM, with the focal length range being a significant differentiator. 105mm frames considerably tighter than 70mm.

The image quality comparison shows the 24-105 to be sharper in the periphery at 24mm f/2.8, despite its much stronger barrel distortion being corrected. The 24-105 still holds a slight periphery advantage at 35mm f/2.8. Wide-open performance is similar over the balance of the shared range, and the differences at f/4 are minor.

The 24-105 shows slightly less flare effect, and it has significantly less peripheral shading, especially at the ends of the shared...

thanks exactly what i was looking for
 
There are a few other comparisons sprinkled throughout the review, so definitely read it all.

I would love to have that FL range in a 2.8 zoom, but the cost and the size, not so sure.
