No. It is not the same.
The filter is offset from the carrier in both the
transmitter and the receiver, and you will miss the
close-spaced high audio frequency tones that would be in the
clear if you tuned.

No it isn't. The transmitter has a 300Hz or some filter
offset from the carrier.
Assuming the receiver has the same, the error is 2X the
offset. This does not occur if you tuned down the filter
bandwidth and stayed on the same sideband.
