I believe they would mostly correlate with each other, but doing it per hour driven would better surface things like tiredness playing a part (eg. that 5 mile commute back from work can take either 5 minutes in no traffic at 60mph, or an hour or more in heavy traffic — one has a different risk profile from the other).
Still I don't think it'd make for a practical difference as long as all the studies are including enough of both types of driving.

Basically, speeding up to 10km/h in the urban area is equivalent to speeding up to 20km/h outside cities as far as fines go (and up to 20km/h in the urban area is an equivalent penalty as for up to 40km/h outside urban areas, and so forth...).
