I had thought so initially, but it turns out that there are quite a few differences. Pseudo-random objects are generated when the scenery mesh is fully set up and are placed not by lat/lon but only relative to the centre of each mesh triangle. Static objects need absolute coordinates, so they don't start out associated with any specific mesh triangle, and their loading is often deferred through a special wrapper. I'd like to take another shot at it, but the scenery-loading code is particularly obfuscated, and I find it slow going.
