Mir Training Mockup
This picture shows the training facility used during the flight of Mir, which was in orbit for 15 years. Clearly, the base block is very similar to the Service Module for the ISS. In fact, the two modules were manufactured at the same time and to the same specification, and then the SM was rewired for the ISS instead of being launched as Mir 2.
