The sensor is the same, so the RAW output should be, too.

The jpeg engine might work a little differently. Differing settings for jpgs are also possible. If you've used your E-P5 with the standard settings you could do a factory reset on your E-M10II.

You could have a look at the two cameras in the studio scene comparison tool:

That's what I'm wondering, if the jpg engine has been tweaked by Olympus.

Note that I should have made it clearer that there is not a strong blue cast, as if WB was different. Just enough of a blue cast that when I correct the whites to proper white, and do a basic edit, and then compare the before and after photo, I say "Wow, that original had quite a lot of a blue tone to it, and was lacking in contrast, which I didn't realize at first." I don't recall thinking that with the EP5.

I have the E-P5 and original E-M10.
These do have different versions of the Oly processor.
E-P5 - TruPic VI
E-M10 - TruPic VII, same as the mkII

Based on my casual non-scientific observations the jpgs are indistinguishable from each other when set to the same settings.
That's not to say that there might be some situation that causes a slight variation in color tone, but if it's there I haven't seen it.

I am curious what is at play here.
Please post your findings if you make a determination.
