Not the ones I sectioned. I looked at the 52 Amax and the 50 Vmax, they were definitely different. The Vmax core had a void behind the plastic tip, the Amax did not.
That was quite awhile ago, when the 52 Amax first came out, and the Vmax I used were even older. Maybe things have changed since then. But those two bullets I looked at, were absolutely not constructed the same.

That make sense. Hornady said they were the same, except that the 52 A-Max was 0.02" longer in the body (cylinder) section.
I couldn't figure how the 0.02" could add up to 2 grains of weight... but if there is no hollow behind the tip, that's where the weight comes from, and why the 50 will open faster... in the 50, the tip gets a running start before it hits the core and opens it up.
Thanks.
