Corp. Dev. Interview - Deal Walkthrough?

Hi - I am broadening my search away from PE to Corp. Dev. and am wondering how the deal experience part differs. With PE interviews, I've found that ~50% of the time is spent discussing deal experience with follow-ups etc.

Should I expect the same thing for Corp. Dev.? Or is it more like you talk about the deals and what you did at a high level / give your opinion, then they go into case studies and other questions?
