I think people are trying a little too hard to equate the two tackles because both were by LBs wearing #57.  The score being the same also makes it a little more eerily similar.

The Bunz tackle was on 3rd down. Greenlaw's was on 4th. The Bunz stop was in the 3rd quarter, not the final play of the game like Greenlaw's. Bunz was in the freaking Super Bowl. Greenlaw was in regular season. If Bunz allowed the TD, the score wouldn't have given the other team the lead, let alone effectively won it for them. Bunz was in man coverage on a RB out of the backfield. Greenlaw was in zone.

I'm sure there have been other tackles made by Niners players at the goal line since Bunz that were similarl that nobody knows about because they were not with the whole country watching. Probably happened in some game against Detroit in the 2000s that nobody cared about, and had the #5 network play-by-play team calling it on some regional broadcast only about 9% of the country saw.
