R52 Front seat swap for F57 seats

Hello Friends, I was wondering if the bolt pattern on the front F57 seats compatible to the R52? I have many times swapped out R52 seats for R56/R57, of course fitting all plugs and seat belts accordingly. But my question is ... is this possible for 3rd generation seats to fit 1st generation? I would like to purchase a pair of F57 seats and before i do i just want to know if this modification is possible. Any help would be really appreciated. Have a great day guys.

Looks like the F56 ones have to be modded to Fit R56 or R53.

I know the seats for the R52,R57, and F57 all have a different airbag set up. As the airbag inflates in a different set up
