Anyone know if it's the same downpipe as on an AF Clubman?

I don't think so
I understand that Ralph makes up his downpipes from 2 others

No it isn't. Completely different shape.

Ralph just did a replacement u bend for my mate for his 80's rs clubman as the old one was dead. It was such a nice job its too nice to use so hes saved it!! :D if you are on the YSA website forum or scooterboy world he's under the name Woody but he isnt an LCGB member, if you pm me your email i'll sort you a photo but Ralph wouldnt let him back in the door if he posted a photo on the web.anyway dont hold your breath for a replacement as ive been waiting 6 months for my vw clubman!!! :o :o :o :lol: my rs clubman performs like no other converted pipe , its really weird when you compare a different bigbore back to back- WITCHCRAFT!!-otherwise id have given up by now!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Also.. a Ralph one will have a flat flange, rather than a nearly flat one. You'll also be able to do the nuts up without having to remove all the pigeon s**t welding first.
With a Ralph one, you'll be able to use a solid copper gasket without it leaking.

i find the AF pipe has very low ground clearance, and i quite often scrape it.. and i'm not one to tear around too much....
