Depends on the Cooper and the 1275GT.

The 1275GT got different gear ratios over the years I believe?: -

the gt had a close ratio gearset as the mk3 cooper s, i believe.

The early GT, with the 4 synchro remote change box, did indeed share the S ratios using a 22G1040 laygear. I think th elater GT with rod change used a normal ratio box though.

However, in reply to the orginal question, there is much more than the geasrbox that makes a GT a GT.
Especially the early or 'Mk1' GT which had a few mechanical changes over the normal clubman, the later GT was more of a styling spec exercise (apart from the 1275 obviously)
