I'm really new to Cisco switch configurations, so i don't really know if there is a difference. I went and downloaded the newest IOS for quite a few of our switches and i noticed some of them look identical even if they are different models. For example, the C3850-24P-S and the C3850-48P both use the cat3K_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.03.03.SE.150-1.EZ5.bin. Could i use the same bin file for both of them or do I need to upload the specific one to the specific switch?

Yes,  the firmware for these 3850 catalyst is the same.

The difference is the port configuration of the catalyst switch,  firmware is not fused if it's 24 or 48 port,  fibre or not,  POE or not.

Ben
