TLDR; Yes (I'm virtually certain).
Levis garments have Product Codes that consist of Style, Fabric, and Color. The Style Codes were the same: 505; that's the style that I wanted, so that was fine.
My Walmart 505s have a Fabric Code of '48'. IIRC, the "real" 505s have a Fabric Code of '02'. The only "real" 505 pair I have on hand no longer has the sewn-in tag with the Product Code, so I'm working off decades-old memory (the wife and I worked at Levis for a combined total of 30 years).
That makes sense, as a lighter-weight denim is by far the easiest means to making a cheaper jean, and the Walmart jeans definitely have a lighter-weight denim. I could tell that as soon as I opened my first package of them (I bought online, thinking they were the same; the wife just laughed and reminded me there was no way they were going to be the same (given enough time, some things you just forget, you know
)).
