I asked and he provided.
Many thanks to the McCourry Institute of Ballistics.

Same impact velocity,

same caliber and weight of monometal brass FN solid,

same nose shape except length of parallel sides below the truncated cone portion

and

longer projection penetrates better than short projection:
