Mambo vs Mozambique

These two grooves sound similar to me and seems like they can be interchangeable when playing either style. The ride pattern also sounds similar if mambo is played the way written in John Riley's Art of Bop Drumming book.

The only difference I noticed between the two in the way I play it is the bass drum part. Mambo - bass drum on "+" of 2 and on "4". Mozambique - bass on all 4 beats.

Any thoughts on this? Or videos to help clear this up?
