I understand that no court has found a distinction between Natural Born Citizens and persons physically born in the USA.
What I want know is if any court has explicitly ruled that these two things are identical?

We should clarify that these would not be identical. Instead, what is identical (since these are merely equivalent legal terms of art) are ‘natural-born citizens’ and “citizens from time of birth”.
You could be a natural-born US citizen, even if born overseas, to US citizen parents, and the rights of citizenship in those cases is defined in US code.
