Not exactly the same, only very close. To get technical, in "Wish You Were Here," the rolled chords are all inversions of the tonic. In "Silver Springs," the rolled chords alternate between tonic & subdominant, & incorporate a two-beat descending figure between each group of four rolls.

I have a feeling McVie was playing something similar on the studio version, but it's buried in the fade-in of the other instruments. The descending figure on the studio version sticks to a pentatonic scale (a five-tone scale, versions of which they use all over "Tango in the Night").
