It is probably just a coincidence that the icons and OS X logo look similar but sometimes an idea can be inspired from something that someone saw long before. To elaborate, maybe the person desinging the OS X logo had once seen the same icons as you found and used them for inspiration on a conscious or sub-conscious level.

But yeah, as Jobs liked to quote picasso as having said... "good artists borrow, great artists steal" or something to that end.
