The pilot jet on his Mikuni clone is an actual Mikuni jet. The sizing is way different in terms of number. More than likely it runs either the VM28/486 or an N224.103 style pilot jets. This is the style of Mikuni most of us used to run, so all of our jetting suggestions for a 25, 27.5, etc. are based on THOSE jets.
The carbs may look the same, but there are small differences. Most easily identified is the 4 bowl screws vs. the 3 of the PZ carbs.
Otherwise, the actual style of the jet is different as well and needs to be noted. When a person says Mikuni, they mean Mikuni jetting, not Keihin jetting. A 38 Mikuni jet is flipping enormous compared to a Keihin 38
