Sure, they aren't. There are only so many temperature stations in the world.

same (public) station data, with some difference in station inclusion. CRU
adds proprietary records from various meteorological institutions. Data
processing is indeed independent.

The point I was trying to make is that, since GISTEMP only uses publicly
available data and computer code and the result is almost the same, whatever
data or algorithm CRU isn't publishing is going to make very little
difference to the outcome.
