a chisel plow will have alot heavier shanks usually on 12" spacing, in our area of heavy clays you will see anything from a straight spike to a beaver tail shovel to a 4" twisted spike. I've never seen sweeps on one, We personally pull a 38' chisel plow with beaver tails with a 415 hp Challenger. A field cultivator will have lighter shanks usually on 6" spacing and will have a 3" spoon to 9" sweep.
