>not an unrelated system that just happens to be governed by an identical set of equations in some regime.
that is exactly the point of analogue systems - identical equations have identical solutions, and thus analogue system allows to observe and explore the solutions (which in many cases aren't that easy/possible to obtain mathematically/numerically)
