I have a sram press fit bb 92 and am wondering if will fit my frame which currently has a shimano bb71 fitted? Are they the same size and fitting?
Cheers

Yup, also commonly known as PF41 - what happens when marketing people write technical standards

The cup sizes might be the same, but possibly not the bearings.

GXP SRAM BBs have a smaller ID on the non-drive side bearing.

But if you're fitting a SRAM GXP crankset, you should be OK.

Also worth noting, don't assume the spacer configuration is the same between both BBs. In other words, if your BB71 needed a 2.5mm spacer, that doesn't mean the SRAM BB will need one etc...
