They were not saying they preached the same gospel, Peter was acknowledging that Paul was preaching a new dispensation, and Peter's dispensation of the kingdom was being temporarily set aside.
Just where does Peter preach the same gospel as Paul: Peter only preached the name of Jesus.
If Peter did indeed preach the same gospel as Paul, then please cite the verse.
It was the same Gospel, but the different writers had their individuality; this is a received understanding of the nature of the New Testament.

It was the same gospel. That is not the issue. They both preached Christ crucified and risen for the forgiveness of sins. They differed about circumcision and eating with non-believers. They differed over specific issues. Yes; they met with the right hand of fellowship. But Paul was placed under the Nazarean oath (that's why he is depicted with short hair in artworks). Ultimately, Paul's version won out because James was too Jewish in his beliefs. Peter was wishy-washy. Its all right there in Acts.

You have to actually cite where they preached a different Gospel. You have yet to do so.

I got news for you, Paul also only preached the name of Jesus.

No, Paul had only one Gospel. And if he said Peter and James were in agreement with him, then they all had the same Gospel, in the eyes of Paul. Peter most certainly did *not* acknowledge that Paul was preaching a different Gospel!
Gal 1.6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
When James and Peter acknolwedged that Paul had the same Gospel, even though he was preaching among the Gentiles, it was an assertion that they preached the exact same Gospel. Cultural trappings aside, there was no effort by James, nor by Peter, to affirm the continuing legitimacy of the Law of Moses. Paul, James, and Peter all believed that Jesus had completely fulfilled the Law. James called it the "Law of Liberty."
Gal 2.6 As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message. 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
There were some things they all preached, but you cant find Peter and the twelve preaching the same gospel as Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Yes, but, Peter preached to believe on the name of Jesus (Matthew 16:16), that he is Christ, the Son of God, nothing of the cross, nothing of his death and resurrection until the Lord opened their understanding........but his death was to forgive their sins under the covenant (Hebrews 9:15) and his resurrection was to ascend until his coming to sit on the throne of David (Acts 2:30).
John and all the disciples preached only the name of Jesus (John 20:31). John 3:16 says nothing of the cross.
Galatians 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Why would Paul need to communicate the same gospel that, as you say, they were all preaching?

Gal 1 6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
If peter taught a different Gospel than Paul. According to Paul Peter was to be anathema

Boy is that easy to answer!
Christians had been wary of Paul because of his past misdeeds, and he had to prove himself. Christian leaders may have been skeptical of Paul, or perhaps others had been trying to slander Paul.Paul's answer, however, is unmistakable: we preach the same Gospel, whether to the Jews or to the Gentiles. Jesus told the 12 apostles to start in Jerusalem and work out beyond Israel to all the nations. Paul did the same thing. He preached "to the Jew 1st, and also to the Greek." Same Gospel. All the apostles were told to go "into all nations." Paul was told to "go to the Gentiles," which is the equivalent of "go to all nations."
You show which word or sentence or thought in 'E' IS NOT SCRIPTURE OR TRUTH or not Christ first and last, OR, is <fatalist>!
