Gravitational time dilation within shell

Are the gravitational time dilation experienced by a test particle the
same for these two setups?
1) A single gravitating body of mass M at a distance of R from the
test particle ... tau = t sqrt(1 - 2GM/(Rc^2)).
2) A homogeneous shell of mass M of radius R, where the test particle
is inside of the shell (doesn't need to be at the centre since dtau/dr
= 0 inside).
Thanks for any information.
