2.1 Geocentric solar ecliptic (GSE) This system has its X axis towards the Sun and its Z axis perpendicular to the plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun (positive North). This system is fixed with respect to the Earth-Sun line. It is convenient for specifying magnetospheric boundaries. It has also been widely adopted as the system for representing vector quantities in space physics databases.

While, GeocentricTrueEcliptic says:

Geocentric ecliptic coordinates. These origin of the coordinates are the geocenter (Earth), with the x axis pointing to the true (not mean) equinox at the time specified by the equinox attribute, and the xy-plane in the plane of the ecliptic for that date.

I don’t think that’s the same 😕
