Bert (Bûrat) may be keyed to:

Tom (Tûma) may be keyed to:

William (Wûluag) may be keyed to:

Is it normally possible to play Tom (Tûma) keyed to the same path as Bert (Bûrat), or William (Wûluag)?
Does "keyed to the same site path" mean the same as "keyed to the same region symbol(s)"?

To give a concrete example, suppose a company were traveling from Blue Mountain Dwarf-hold to Mount Gundabad. The site path could be

. If the hazard player keyed Tom to

, Bert to

, and William to

, then wouldn't all three be keyed to (regions in) the same site path, but not to the same region symbol(s)? Thus there would seem to be a distinction between the phrases in your question, suggesting the answer is no.

OK.
What if between playing Bert (keyed to

and Tom (keyed to

) one

in path will be changed to (strictly "will be treated as")

in result of Withered Lands?
William (keyed to

) will be considered to be keyed to not the same path as Bert?

It is still the same site path even if there is a modification.

Likewise, a character under Memories Stolen is still the same character even though their current skills have been changed.

Compare also cards such as Chance of Being Lost or Winds of Wrath, which are a replacement rather than a modification.
