Yes, they are the same book.  The are both Modern Chess Openings 14th
edition, which was edited by Nick DeFirmian.  The Bastsford one was
published in England, the other in the USA,  I recall seeing a review
(might have been John Watson's on the The Week In Chess site)
comparing MCO and Nunn's Chess Openings, which also gave some
comparison between the two versions of MCO.  The viewer preferred the
Batsford version , becuase it was easier to read - the paper was
brighter/whiter and the font was easier to read.
