According to PostgreSQL docs 
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/datatype-oid.html):

"The oid type is currently implemented as an unsigned four-byte integer."

There is nothing about upper limit, so your observations might relate to 
undocumented implementation details.

They might or might not be the same type, in which case your code will 
not compile (unless you apply a user conversion, as already discussed).
