Electrostatic potential map of ozone

This is the electrostatic potential for ozone.

SO2Electrostatic potential map of ozone

This is the electrostatic potential for sulfur dioxide.

They look almost exactly the same except 1one is all oxygen atoms and the other has sulfur in the center instead of oxygen.

Why does ozone have an MEP  (molecular electrostatic potential) similar to that of SO2?
