contents We work in the setting of linear skew constacyclic codes over a commutative base ring $S$. We show that the notions of $(n,σ)$-isometry and $(n,σ)$-equivalence introduced by Ou-azzou et al coincide for most skew $(σ,a)$-constacyclic codes of length $n$. To prove this, we show that all Hamming-weight preserving isomorphisms between their ambient rings which extend some automorphism $τ$ of $S$ that commutes with $σ$ must have degree one, when those rings are not associative. In the process we determine isomorphisms between their nonassociative ambient rings, the Petit rings $S[t;σ]/S[t;σ](t^n-a)$, which give rise to skew constacyclic codes. As a consequence, we propose new definitions of equivalence and isometry of skew constacyclic codes that exactly capture all Hamming-weight preserving isomorphisms between the ambient rings of skew constacyclic codes which extend $τ\in {\rm Aut}(S)$ that commute with $σ$, and lead to tighter classifications.
