Well, that's not 100% accurate. They use the same gasket. The mating surface is virtually identical. If one had a lot of time, you could reshape the Rabbit oilpan into a piece which can be bolted in place of the cast aluminum Vanagon pan. It might take you forever and a half and with great skill. However, in some sense they are related a little.
