The regular potentials yield critical packing fractions, critical Debye-Waller factors and critical amplitudes very close to each other. The elastic moduli and the particle's localization lengths for corresponding states of the Yukawa system and the square-well system may differ by up to 20% and 10%, respectively.12 pages, 5 figures, J.
