No, they are not the same, even though they both serve the same purpose.
If you're going to be swapping the upper / vertical section, you need to get the bottom section that fits around the shifter housing.
They do not mix-n-match.
Then, on top of everything else, you need the shifter boot specific to each series.
The shifter boot does not mix-match either unless you're willing to punch new holes to line up all the little pins.
A lot of the shifter surrounds I've seen for sale do not some with the boot.
Well, I'm assuming we're talking about a manual trans here...![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Doh.
I read "switches" and automatically thought of my set-up.
Duh. :P
You're right.
The plastic surrounds are all identical.
They are all usually broken - the screw hole posts.
The switches are not swappable.
