i'd suspect not, if schwalbe were rebranding conti...

why not same sizes (ok they could bulk buy and put in different tubes/cans)

conti doesn't do glue remover, schwalbe does, seems unlikely to me they would buy in glue then make own brand remover

...having said that, i never heard of anyone using schwalbe glue, though maybe it's mainly sold in the home market

Well it seems i can't get any info. I bought tires and some other Schwalbe stuff. Among that, glue.

What? Schwalbe is a major manufacturer who has formulated its own adhesive for a long time. Likewise, Vittoria is another major manufacturer who has produced its own formulae for years. If you run-out two beads of Schwalbe and Mastik 1 side-by-side, you'll be able to tell visually. Personally, I prefer Mastic 1.

Geoff, the OP is inquiring whether Schwalbe and Conti glue are the same, not Schwalbe and Vittoria Mastik One.
