    I don't know if they're "exact" copies of each other as to content but 
according to the Raleigh "News and Observer", the one at Wake Forest was the 
first  of four painted by French artist Paul Philippoteaux and is larger 
than the one at Gettysburg.
    You can find the N & O story at: 
http://www.newsobserver.com/100/story/569912.html and this Wake Forest 
University site http://www.wfu.edu/news/release/2007.05.03.c.php also has a 
story about the cyclorama and a color photo of one of the panels.
