No, they are different

For example, the GMT middle case is thicker than the Sub
The Sub has wider lugs than the GMT
The Sub has a deeper caseback
GMT overall height: 11.9 mm
Sub overall height: 12.53 mm
Etc...

Did you mean 116710LN and 116710BLNR? If so, yes. If you meant 116610, then no.

I have always found (and this is just my personal feeling) that the GMT ceramic middle case is thicker thank the Submariner Ceramic.

In that regard, I personally find the Submariner more comfortable on my wrist than the GMT.

Was referring to the 116610 ceramic sub and the 116710 BLNR.

As stated above, the cases for the 116610 and 116710 are not the same.
