white tops that read 'made in Japan' are called 'duraloops,' yes they're the same.
Black tops made in China are different (and not as good).

Ok, I knew that the AA white tops were eneloops, I was just wondering if that goes for their AAA batteries as well.

Yes, the AAA Duracell precharged cells with a white top are also Sanyo Eneloops badged for Duracell. The same physical characteristics are present for both AA and AAA cells.In addition to the white top you can confirm you are looking at a Duraloop by looking for the four vent holes that are present in both AA and AAA size around the side of the positive button. The button also is not perfectly cylindrical but has a very slightly squared off shape to it on an Eneloop/Duraloop.
