What does your "about:plugins" page say? (For explication, see the about:plugins subthread.) Or do you have some other diagnostic which indicates these are not the same?
It does say "Shockwave Flash". Now isn't that interesting, because Adobe itself says they're different things. In the download section at http://www.adobe.com/products/ , they're listed separately and, as Sorin pointed out, Shockwave isn't even available for Linux.
Perhaps the adobe webpage is a bit incomplete, or maybe they're talking about the Windows plugins, I don't know. I have to believe more what I read on my system.
Anyway, did you download Flash for Linux at http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer ?
This kind of thing is not easy to remember. Most of the time I assume that, version numbers being the same, especially in the case of commercial binaries, the packages will be the same regardless of where they come from.
