They're NOT the same. I can't find a pinout, but they're a different
(physical) size and ISTR they use different voltages as well. MPS6550s
will be very hard to find as they were never second-sourced by anyone, as
far as I know. They're 22-pin (0.4" wide instead of 0.3") 4096-bit (1024 x
4) SRAMs. 2114's are 18-pin 4096-bit (1024 x 4) SRAMs.

Even MOS Technology didn't make them for very long, which is why only the
earliest PETs used them.
