A plea of autrefois acquit shall show, by voucher of the record and proper

which judgment might have been pronounced against him on conviction and
which—

pleads;
(b) in law or in fact involves the same charge; or
(c) in law or in fact is a substantive offence essential to the charge
to which he pleads.
