  Quoting the manual page:
  Commit Limiting
    Besides specifying a range of commits that should be listed using the special notations explained in the description, additional commit limiting may be applied. Note that they are applied before commit ordering and formatting options, such as --reverse.
Given that, I would expect the output to be the same.
