About Explore-1 MCU change...
I know for certain manual and automatic transmissions are not the same since the MCU controls the 3-4 upshift and torque converter lockup. I am not sure if MCU also controls 4 wheel drive shifting or that was done in another box.

Calif is the designation for California emissions standards and FED is for the remainder. MT-AT are for the manual-automatic transmission versions. I would think if the 2 vehicles are similar applications, an interchange should work OK
