Offset crush measurements vs. full overlap crush measurements

Has anyone compared the recent offset crash test stiffness coefficients
with the standard full overlap, flat wall, stiffness coefficients? I am
curious to find out if the resultant values are similar and if we can use
the standard full overlap coefficients for an offset collision recon.

Does anyone know if the offset results are published or available anywhere?
