    There seem to be two different concepts here:
    'to fit completely right', and 'made to match' do not imply that two things are congruent, or even similar. Male and female, yin and yang, nut and bolt are examples of this idea.
    'Carbon copies' are something quite different, and although identical or congruent would hardly ever fit together.
