They are the same, or at least they were the same the last time Eldar Knights had official rules (eg. in Adeptus Titanicus/SM1). Back then there were no animal riders; that's just a later idea that never got off the ground. However, the idea of animal riders has some strange appeal to me so I'm designing a combined knight/animal Exodite list with Nils at the moment. It will be posted to Incoming when ready.
