The Ebola and Marburg VP24 proteins are 30% identical. They share a similar pyramidal shaped domain, as well as a few structures. Both viruses have two highly conserved pockets underneath the "pyramid's" base. Additionally, the N termini of Ebola (Zaire) and the Marburg virus are very similar in function.
