It would be more accurate to say that it is certain that "a launcher" was used in both films. CW said there were four total that they were aware of (they were also used in Heartbreak Ridge). I have been told that Arnold switched launchers at least three times during the filming of Predator. Screencaps of the movie show different paint 'scuffs' from shot to shot that would support this.

I realize that there were multiple launchers built, but at least SOME of the same batch made for "Scarface" were definitely re-used (at least in part) on "Predator" and many other movies. GC has the rental records, though I admit that I didn't see them myself, but I can ask. The launcher that they sold on their site in 2010 was sent out on both "Scarface" and "Predator".
