The Salad Cream comparision is sort of accurate, but they taste different enough that you can't pass them off as each other.

Miracle Whip adds vinegar, paprika, cornstarch, sugar, garlic power and mustard powder to classic mayonnaise.

Salad Cream (actually a Heinz product) and technically is not a mayonnaise-based product.  Egg yokes, cream, vinegar, lemon juice and seasonings (mustard, a bit of cayenne pepper, salt & white pepper) round out a typical homemade recipe.
