Default From Russia With Randall & Hopkirk

Now I don't much about music but if there are any music experts out there please listen to the two featured themes. The From Russia With Love Bond theme and the Randall and Hopkirk Deceased theme sound the same to me, but are arranged slightly differently.

Am I bonkers, or is this a co-incidence or are they indeed one in the same?

Also does anyone know the keyboard instrument used in the latter; harpsichord, spinnet, clavichord, Bontempi synthesiser?

Well there are similarities. They've both got musical notes in them
No, the similarities are more than that, but I could quite easily tell them apart in a dark room.

The Theme Music to R&H is played on a harpsichord.

I've just tried them simultaneously by opening each one in a separate tab, very similar indeed!

I agree. Some of the R&H Theme could almost be a harmony line for FRWL.
