No, the stars are not the same and the time of the year ought to be different. Gb3-30 should be 264 days later than Cb4-20.

Probably the nakshatra position of Spica (Ana-roto) at the reversed hau tea in Gb4-1 (92) was significant. The Chinese saw the beginning of the year at Spica:

1 Horn α Virginis (Spica) Crocodile (202.7) Oct 9 (282) 282 = 265 + 17
2 Neck κ Virginis Dragon (214.8) Oct 21 (294) 294 = 282 + 12

7 Winnowing Basket γ Sagittarii (Nash) Leopard (273.7) Dec 19 (353) 353 = 334 + 19
December solstice

The star name Nash (for γ Sagittarii at the Winnowing Basket) means 'bier' (na'ash) and this word was used also at η Ursae Majoris:

... The name [Benetnash] derives from the Arabic phrase meaning 'The leader of the daughters of the bier'. The daughters of the bier, i.e. the mourning maidens, are the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, Mizar, and Alioth; while the four stars of the bowl, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe, are the bier ...

From Spica to Nash there were 71 nights. From τ Aquilae to Spica there were 265 nights. And 265 + 71 = 336 = 14 * 24 = 472 - 136:

MAY 16, 136 days counted from JANUARY 1 (at the time of the Hyades Gate) corresponded (in rongorongo times) to day 120 + 80 = 200 (July 19), because ω Cancri rose with the Sun in MAY 16 respectively in July 19 (136 + 64).

FEBRUARY 4 when Adhil rose heliacally was 365 + 35 = 400 days from JANUARY 1, i.e. in rongorongo times Adhil rose with the Sun in day 35 + 64 = 99 (April 9). In day 100 (April 10) Spica (together with the pair Mizar and Alcor in Ursa Major) was close to the position of the Full Moon. At the time of the Hyades Gate these stars were with the Full Moon 64 nights earlier, viz. in night number 100 - 64 = 36 (FEBRUARY 5). In AUGUST 7 (219 = 36 + 183) - respectively in day 219 + 64 = 283 (October 10) - they rose with the Sun.

OCTOBER 17 was night number 290 counted from JANUARY 1. The Winnowing Basket had however in rongorongo times moved ahead with 64 nights due to the precession and in order to be night number 290 the counting had to begin with March 6 (65 = 1 + 64). Nash rose heliacally in December 19 (353) and night 290 was December 20 (354). But 354 = 12 * 29½ was probably the current measure for counting from the beginning of the year, not 10 * 29 = 290.

... From the natives of South Island [of New Zealand] White [John] heard a quaint myth which concerns the calendar and its bearing on the sweet potato crop. Whare-patari, who is credited with introducing the year of twelve months into New Zealand, had a staff with twelve notches on it. He went on a visit to some people called Rua-roa (Long pit) who were famous round about for their extensive knowledge. They inquired of Whare how many months the year had according to his reckoning. He showed them the staff with its twelve notches, one for each month. They replied: 'We are in error since we have but ten months. Are we wrong in lifting our crop of kumara (sweet potato) in the eighth month?' Whare-patari answered: 'You are wrong. Leave them until the tenth month. Know you not that there are two odd feathers in a bird's tail? Likewise there are two odd months in the year.' The grateful tribe of Rua-roa adopted Whare's advice and found the sweet potato crop greatly improved as the result ... The Maori further accounted for the twelve months by calling attention to the fact that there are twelve feathers in the tail of the huia bird and twelve in the choker or bunch of white feathers which adorns the neck of the parson bird.
