Are these the same thing- can they be used interchangeably in recipes calling for one or the other?

Is there a difference between Weet-Bix and Weetabix?
Weetabix - Wikipedia
History. Produced in the UK since 1932, Weetabix is the British version of the original Australian Weet-Bix. Both Weet-Bix and Weetabix were invented by Bennison Osborne, an Australian.
Weet-Bix is sold in Australia, but Weetabix is sold in England.

Overall ~ it seems it the taste and texture that differs.
