The Excel (1988-2000), Stingray and Xocet ( 2000-05) definitely do. All at 12 ft-lbs in the U.K. The youth model (Victor replacement - Excel, Xocet, though the Xocet moved more into being a value adult gun than a youth one) moving up to full power. A lesson from the Victor being that even youth guns then needed to be “full power”.

The Omega (1984-94), Eclipse (88-2000), Tomahawk (2000-2005) and Longbow (2002-2005, then briefly continued by the Turks) have Vulcan/Hawk/Osprey/Tracker/Viscount DNA, same cylinder diameter for one, but different stocks, triggers, etc. The more Webley varied them, the less DNA there was. A bit like the relationship between an old 1950s HW35 and the current HW95K. Definitely from the same stable, but not the same horse.
