Well, they're certainly not the same make/model . . . but clearly serve the same purpose and share a design sensibility.They look some what similar in shape to the troop transports seen in The Force Awakens, but they are quite different when you put them side by side.

I think the First Order transport definitely looks like it could have evolved from the design of the Imperial transport. And I really like how this episode answered a question I actually had after watching the sequels . . . "What did the Imperials use when landing squads of stormtroopers?"
I also like the new/old design much better also. The Imperial transport is a lot meaner looking than the First Order version!
