While Roger's point may theoretically be possible (ie: objects that happen to respond the same under a variety of specific illuminants, but do not correspond at other wavelengths), if two objects match "under all illuminants", then you have pretty much defined them as having the same spectral response across the board.

In which case, it would seem very likely that they were made/ pigmented with the same stuff (note my highly technical jargon)

I'd say Marco's theory would hold!

Marco,

It would seem to me that if two colored objects match under all illuminants,
they are very likely to match spectrally too, which also makes it highly
likely that they are made from the same, or very similar, materials and
pigments.

Well, I'm not so sure. I remember hearing about industrial color formulation
used in textile, for instance, where the choice of "ingredients" was such
that it minimized metamerism. So, I am tempted to hypothesize in view of my
limited knowledge that it's possible to have two color surfaces match under
a variety of light sources yet they don't exhibit the same spectral
reflectance.
