I know that the 2.3 ecobost engine in the Ranger and Mustang is not the same. The Coyote engine for the F-150 and the Mustang is similar, but I understand that it is somewhat different. I wonder if the two 2.3 ecobost engines have the same name and are mostly different engines, or are they similar to each other like the coyote engine.

The engines are very similar, they use the same basic design with only detail differences due to updates in tech, and to suit the vehicle application. The Ranger version of the engine takes elements of the Mustang and Focus RS versions of the 2.3, with the Mustang version being the earliest of the lot, followed by the RS version. All are developed from the 2.0L EcoBoost (similar head and turbocharger tech), and its lineage in the Mazda L engine family, with the basic design going back to the early 2000s.
There is a good thread over on the 5G site with images and details.

Bill, any idea if the new 2.3EB might be used in the NA-spec 2024 Ranger?

Not sure, I've not been able to find much detail on this new engine to confirm if it's a heavy update, or if it's the 3 cylinder platform stretched out to four. My guess is that the 'old' 2.3 is what will be used, we (rest of the world) are getting it in the Everest, Ranger and Amarok already.
