No idea if they are the same, should think so. But be aware, from what I understand it's an absolute nightmare to split the lens. Even with loads of heat, you have to cut away the lens.

Just thinking out aloud !

Do the different bulb types create different heat, which may mean different grade or thickness of plastic !
