The lab is not the same for all three. As nrf has repeatedly tried to tell you, they are three SEPARATE tracks. To achieve the R/S CCIE, you need to pass the R/S written and the R/S CCIE Lab. To get your C/S CCIE, even if you already have, say, you R/S CCIE *completed*, you still need to complete the C/S written then take the C/S lab.
