Answer: They both feature Jack Skellington's head

Both Keyblades are also themed on the the movie "Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas" and appear in levels based on the aformentioned movie. In keeping with the themes of the movie, both have some features reminiscent of Halloween, although "Pumpkinhead" is much more gothic in it's design, whereas the "Decisive Pumpkin" is more festive, featuring a candy cane design.

However, despite it's Christmas feel, it is still based on a section of the movie, where the protagonist, Jack Skellington, travels to "Christmas Town".

Kingdom Keys' Mickey head and Mickey's Kingdom Key from the Realm of Darkness' alternate the colour of Mickey's head, Oathkeeper appears in both games, as does Oblivion, so their Keychains are the same.

Finally, Sleeping Lion's lion head is the same as Lionheart from the first game. Strangely, Ultima Weapon's Keychain isn't the same despite it's appearance in both games (there are some subtle differences).

Answer: Twilight Town: The Tower Wardrobe, Battle Level 6

In the wardrobe, Sora is given the Drive Guage, the Valor Form and the Star Seeker Keyblade by Flora, Fauna and Merryweather (the three fairies from "Sleeping Beauty") but Sora can't use his new Keyblade unless he is in Valor Form, which allows two Keyblades be used. However, once he obtains his next Keyblade, he may switch his Keyblades between Forms at will.
