It is neither. It's a completely different frame size and is smaller. It is called a mid-sized frame.
The frame on a standard blackhawk and on a super blackhawk are the same. The differences are that a super blackhawk has an unfluted cylinder (except for the 5.5" bbl) and it has longer grip frame with a square backed trigger guard. The grip frame forward of the trigger guard is identical.
Mine rides in a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake holster.

The Super Blackhawk has a steel grip frame as opposed to aluminum grip frame of the NM Blackhawk, if I recollect correct.
The New Vaquero and Flat Top are the same frame size, so I would suggest specifying a New Vaquero when you order.

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

it really make no difference if you specify that it is a flat top or not or if it has a steel grip frame of an alloyed one
all they care about is the model and barrel length, and that will pretty much take care of it
except the particular holster you want of course

You are correct. I forgot to mention that for the 4 5/8" and 5 1/2" barreled Super Blackhawks the grip frame is the same length as the standard Blackhawk. It also has the standard rounded trigger guard.
The cylinder frame is the same size for both Super Blackhawk and standard Blackhawks.
