Difference in Mpeg2 and 480p HD bitrate

What is the difference in Mpeg2 and 480p HD bitrates ?

PAL Mpeg2 has 720x576 = 414,720 pixels @ 25fps (720x480x29 for NTSC)... while
480p HD . . has 853x480 = 409,440 pixels @ 30 fps
PAL Mpeg2 has fractionally more detail but 5 fewer FPS than 480p HD.
Of course, MP4 has a much better compression algorithm than Mpeg2 !

Given a similar movie released in each format... what kind of differences in bitrate could be expected ?
