Ship types are unique and tied to icons on maneuver dials. The oft-quoted rule only says that TIE/fo counts as TIE Fighter for the purpose of upgrades restricted to TIE Fighters. It does NOT mean that the ships actually have the same type, the logic leap from "applies in few specific cases" to "applies always" is kinda staggering.
