I got a plant from my grandmother and wanted to get a friend for it. Are these the same two plants?

Plant on left might be aglonema ( Chinese evergreen)  
Right looks to be diffenbachia ( dumb cane)

Thank you

As far as care needs, I think aglonema needs a bit more moist soil than diffenbachia (in my experience )
