How close are they?

ΔE 10.4, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. T'au Light Ochre is a little darker, more muted than Orange. They are different kinds of paint: AMMO by Mig Orange is an ink, glaze or transparent paint and Citadel T'au Light Ochre is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
