No, I think the plastic pieces all look the same (well, that Tomy Megaminx has "shorter" corners, but my 6-color later Meffert's don't). But let me tell you in my experience the caps of the Megaminxes are most often not glued nearly as hard as for example the studio 3x3. Just take a thin blade and apply little force, maybe try several centers to find an easy one. Good luck!
