In my Mark 5, there is a very different sound to the monitor and the 
sidetone that is heard when the monitor is switched off.  In fact, my 
monitor circuit has a defect that causes rough CW sidetone and raspy SSB 
audio after a few minutes of transmitting.  With monitor off the sidetone 
is pure.  For this reason, I believe they are different systems.
