Would floor malted MO being turned into a British crystal 160 produce a different flavor/s than using "common" MO?

It is to my understanding that the malt variety changes flavors as some crystal malts are made from a variety of malts, MO, Optic, and US base malts for example.

The concept here would be to possibly produce a British crystal 160L at home using floor malted MO instead of purchasing the commercial variety. I am aware that home methods may differ from commercial crystal malt production methods.
 
My guess is that the differences would be less and less apparent as the lovibond of the crystal increased.
