The J-45 likely has an overall bigger soundbox than the Songbird, moves more air, and besides the short scale, has a different bracing pattern from the Songbird model, which was developed originally in the late '90s by Ren Ferguson as a slightly smaller dreadnought model, the "CL" line of models. It is braced differently, so that, along with differences in the body geometry and scale length -- and the guitar-to-guitar differences that are inevitable between models -- will result in different tonal qualities.

I think the design elements that make a guitar brighter or darker sounding are pretty well known by makers, designers, luthiers, repair techs, and experienced players who have played (and looked inside) hundreds of guitars in their time.
I am not one of the above, so I can't help OP with his question. I think you'll find that video about Gibson's bracing patterns interesting, even though it doesn't answer your question directly.
