Couples of mutually backwards-similarities, what properties do they have and are they useful?

Assume we have two matrices $A,B$ for which: $$A = TDT^{-1}\\B = T^{-1}DT$$ Can we derive anything about these matrices relation to each other?

I have tried experimenting a bit but I can't see anything special:

We can see that $$A^{k} = TD^kT^{-1}\\B^{k}=T^{-1}D^kT$$

$$AB = TDT^{-2}DT\\$$

However if we had an operation which flips all factors of matrix products without transposing them, then we can turn $A$ into $B$ and vice versa. But what kind of weird operation would that be?
