Yes, but the Skywriter, Generic E2X, etc. used a fin can that looks the same from a distance, but it completely different. They have a slight leading edge sweep and the fins are wedge shaped. The Challenger-1 fins had a diamond airfoil and an ever so slight leading edge sweep and trailing edge that mirrored it, giving a wink and a nod to a Nike fin.
