No, they are not different. Lines in the pd-file are interpreted as 
message to a canvas using #X, a message to [canvasmaker] using #N, or a 
message to an array using #A.

"#N canvas" and "#X restore" will change the receiver of the 
receive-symbol #X so that it points to the correct canvas at all time. 
They use pd_pushsym and pd_popsym, which maintain a list of receivers for 
each receive-symbol in which only the last element is a currently active 
receive-symbol.
