The fact that they do have exact voices is thus stunningly beneficial to us. It shows that SW appears to have some variation of "mind uploading" and "downloading" in canon. Basics like vocabulaty and how to talk, how to walk, basic education, and a number of other things would have been copied from Jango. If this is the case, then the 5 years are spent in military training, not a required part of the growth process.
The original clones were ten years. And if you could flash-imprint how to talk, walk, eat, etc., why would you not imprint the clone with combat experience? On the other hand, with the original batch they had no real case of extended combat experience with Jango's clones. Maybe that's why the first batch was so small, a test group from which the next batch could simply be flash-imprinted with combat experience and accelerated in growth. I think the Kaminoans knew to a degree that imprinting them with whole memory sets - like Thrawn laters does with his Spaarti cylinders, leads to possible mental instability. Part of the reason Kaminoan clones may take longer than Thrawn's Spaarti ones, even after they've accelerated the growth (since now that they have the original batch's combat experiences they no longer need to slowly train and educate them for 10 years) because they still have them participate in some training and whatnot to build some assemblance of individual psychology rather than implanting all the memories verbatim: being surrounded by tens of thousands of people who look like you and share all your memories cannot be optimal for morale and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the next-gen of cloning, the GeNodes, also did not have others' memories flash-imprinted in. Not only were they conditioned to be unwaveringly loyal to the Empire (and to have a "I love Big Brother" reflex if they momentarily faltered, as Publius put it), but they apparently fabricated their own false personal histories and personal psychology.

Similar to the Spaarti-brand clones, right.

Ok.
