Current mirror questions

Dear,

I am confused with below two curcuits. Are they the same from all aspects?

Besides, can I diode connect Q12 instead of Q13 for the following bias circuits.

Thanks very much and wish a good day.

1. But as I know, in the figures, wilson mirror has the same Rout as cascode mirror.

2. I am really confused about the difference if I diode connect Q12 instead of Q13 in the bias circuit.

Anyone can help explain?

Thanks.
