Refraction patterns - are moonlight and sunlight the same?

At a recent astronomy open day they had a nice demo of a prism splitting sunlight and showed the refraction patterns with the black bars among the spectra. Since moonlight is really reflected sunlight - does it actually show identical refraction patterns, or has something been absorbed or changed by virtue of the light hitting the Moon and then passing onto the Earth?
