I can definitely agree with the above in that they're really the same. I think the main difference lies in which mentors a student interacts with more, rather than the teachings of those mentors. For example, many of the more electrically-inclined members of our team say "You're killing me!" the favorite phrase of our main electrical mentor. Similarly, other students pick up habits from their "preferred" mentors.

What I'm saying is, student-mentor relations are based on interaction, not the role of the mentors themselves. (Not so sure about mentor-mentor relations, but that's not really my question to answer)
