MBA:s and MiF:s take exactly the same courses. MBA:s get to take the core as well, and get the opportunity for a summer internship. Getting an internship is supposed to be essential if you don't have any previous IB experience.
If you want to take all the finance classes of the MiF:S - go ahead. But you won't get two degrees.

The impression you give that MiF and MBA programs at LBS are almost the same content-wise is a false one. On average, MBAs and MiFs take the same courses ONLY 10-20% of the total load.
As far as I know, MiFs one-year curriculum is based around finance core with little flexibility to choose electives (3-4 in the last term from a restricted list)
MBAs, however, and that I know, like in America, take a broad core of courses in their first year (from management and finance to marketing and operations). In the second year MBAs can choose 12 electives from the full list.
This means that some finance type MBAs will do all the MiF courses plus that amount in more general disciplines, i.e. strategy, marketing, entrepreneurship, etc. While others, for example media types, will only do the minimum amount of finance and will never meet a single MiF in their life.
To the original poster: if you more questions, fire away.
