Can you advise which brokers have the same demo and live platforms? But in reality, not what they say, since 90% of them say it's the same, but it's not. ECN and good MM would do.

You can create an account with the broker but don't deposit your money in yet. Once they give you the account no. and trading pass, proceed to login and check their spreads with an analyzer and compare their live spreads with the ones on demo. That would give you a better overview of what's happening. You can leave the spread analyzer on for a few days to see if there are any specific changes at various time intervals.

This is a spread data logger which I use often analyze broker's spreads.

Note that this won't work with brokers that will only create an account for you after you send them the money.

FXPrimus. I am not sure of Oanda as I did not trade demo only live there. But I have traded FXPrimus both live and demo and seen no difference.
