AXMC SFP bolt shroud assembly question, same lugs as LFP bolt shroud assembly?

Question for AXMC shooters that have the new factory AI small firing pin bolts or have swapped their LFP bolts to SFP bolts:

I know the firing pin itself is obviously different, but is the firing pin shroud assembly (the part containing the safety lever that locks into the bolt body) the same between the LFP and SFP?

I'm hoping I can keep my existing serialized LFP bolt shroud and just buy a new small firing pin and swap the current large firing pin for small firing pin. It's an easy swap, 2 set screws, reset firing pin protrusion, done. I really don't want to spend $500+ on an complete SFP bolt shroud assembly if I don't have to if I can simply swap a $100ish small firing pin onto my existing bolt shroud.

Reason I'm asking if I'm wondering if AI did something silly like change the size or shape or spacing of the SFP bolt shroud bayonet lugs so you can't stick an SFP bolt shroud assembly into an LFP bolt body or vice versa. I don't have a factory AXMC SFP bolt or SFP bolt shroud assembly on hand to check.

And now for your typical story regarding AI spare parts availability... Mile High just told me they cannot source only the 1.6mm firing pin as AI doesn't even have a part number for it by itself, so instead of buying a $100 firing pin you have to buy the entire $560 1.6mm firing pin and shroud assembly. I asked how AI would send them parts if say someone damaged their 1.6mm firing pin from a pierced primer and needed just a new firing pin, and they said they would probably have to get the entire shroud assembly. That seems really overkill.

I simultaneously love and hate AI. I like how they are built and how they shoot but stupid stuff like this makes me worry about parts support down the road and makes me think about selling all 3 of them...
