They probably don't, "mirafone" being the old US subsidiary that ended that name in the 70's...

Here's one old comparison:
JCradler wrote:I have an "F/ Eb 23" and a newer "23" from Miraphone. The older one has a tighter throat, but the cup and rim seem the same. I got the old one in 1987, there weren't as many mouthpieces designed for F tuba at the time, and my teacher recommended this one. I learned F on it. A bit too oinky for me nowadays.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

To my knowledge the only mouthpieces of that marking were from the 60's and sometime into the 70's, and were marked to suggest an intended correlation with a Bach 18.
