It is not vague to analyze the panels.
In Rayleigh's first appearance, Zoro and Sanji's reactions were highlighted, not just Zoro.
Back to the time skip, at the meeting of Luffy and Rayleigh, it was Zoro and Sanji who were there meeting Luffy first, defeating the pacifists and witnessing that dialogue Ray&Luffy, it wasn't just Zoro.
Zoro and Sanji are also given prominent panels with Rayleigh when they return to Saboady.
The first time Rayleigh fights, he kicks and interrupts Kizaru's kick, then uses swords.
None of this is just coincidence.
Rayleigh mentioning ''young ladies'' in his intro, and drinking sake, and old Zoro and Sanji are identical to them, physical traits mirror a lot with both, it's very obvious.
That's pretty obvious, Rayleigh looks like both.
Raleigh 40Y / Sanji 40Y and Rayleigh 60Y / Sanji 60Y are extremely similar.

Don't blame me, nobody forced Oda to draw that page. But I agree with you, Zoro is not Rayleigh's clone. They are comparable as PK right hand man.
but as far as the story goes, whether its inherited will, or other characters noting how similar they are
none of that exist with zoro and rayleigh but its clearly stated with roger and luffy.
