Even IF the Bessa and Hexar finders are manufactured by the same plant, the view will be quite different. If you check the schematics for the two viewfinders you'll find they're of completely different design: the Hexar's is clearly closely modeled on the M6, while the optical path in the Bessa's more related to that in the M3, but with manual frame selection.
