Your best bet is to visit any body shop and look in one of their crash estimating guides. Those will list the part number. See if the same part number is listed for both applications. If they are, you are in luck. If they are different, you wont know why. They still could interchange, but one might have an extra bracket, or an access hole might be located in a different spot.

The people at a salvage yard should be able to help too. They have "Hollander" guides that are very expensive. You look your part up according to your car year and model, then it will list a code number for that part. Look the code number up in the back of the book and it will list all the years and models that use that part.
