Does the Olympus E-P5 and the original E-M1 Mark I have the same sensor? The data on DxOMark are within a few numbers of each other.

What do we call the original E-M1 now? Classic? Original? Mark I?

I doubt that they have the same sensor, because the original E-M1 has PDAF arrays on its sensor and the E-P5 doesn't.  The general consensus is that the E-M1 has a Panasonic-produced sensor (even though Panasonic has never used this particular sensor in any of its own cameras) whilst the other 16MP Olympuses use a Sony sensor.  So I'd think it more likely that the E-P5's sensor is more like that of the E-M5.
