Does panko weigh the same as breadcrumbs?

No. Panko is much lighter per cup. To swap by weight, use the same grams; by volume, you will need more panko than dry breadcrumbs.

Do Italian breadcrumbs weigh the same as plain?

Practically yes. The added herbs and cheese change the weight per cup very little.

A US cup of dry breadcrumbs weighs 108 g according to the USDA, half a cup about 54 g and a US tablespoon about 6.8 g. The figure is for fine, dry grated crumbs like the plain or Italian-style kind sold in canisters.

Japanese panko is made of large, airy flakes and weighs much less per cup, so a cup of panko is not the same amount as a cup of regular breadcrumbs. Fresh breadcrumbs made from soft bread are lighter still.
