Does anyone know if the 2m long profiles (part No. 496824) are the same profile as the current Kapex MFT?
 
Yes they are!
You can build your own long MFT.

The normal profiles are also separate available.
Short: 472862 at €48,53 per set
Long: 472863 at €70,34 per set
 
Of all the NIANA items, this is one I least understand... I think most every Festool woodworker in NA would have some of these extrusions in their shop. I have a MFT/3 and want these so I can make some custom table supports... provide Festool clamping options on my non-Kapex chop saw... tons of other ideas.
 
Obviously, the problem is getting UL approval.  They can't find where the profiles plug in.
 
Not being an MFT owner, what benefits do the profiles provide?

I'm planning to build my own oversized "MFT" outfeed/assembly table and need to figure out if these are worth tracking down.
 
The profiles allow you to use the Festool guide rail and fence fittings if you don't want to use dogs for the guide rail and 80/20 extrusions for the fence alignment.

If you use Parf Dogs or Qwas dogs for the rail and other compatible dogs or 80/20 for a fence. you won't need the Festool profiles.
