F57 top fabric on an R57 (SOLVED)

As it says, anyone know if these are interchangable. I know the F57 body is slightly larger, but anyone know about the fabric with rear glass (not the frame). Same size or not? I know the part numbers are all different, but that means nothing.
I have the chance of an F57 Union Jack fabric roof for a very good price. My fabric has been slashed!!! Vandals.

OK, forget it, someone has measured both and NO, they are not the same dimensions...

Its close based off what i have seen, but i bet its a little off an the mounting holes, Wire going to the heating element and the way it folds down. I guess take it to a place that does convertible tops and see if they can get it to work?

The heater wire routing looks the same from what I can see on the Ebay one. I fitted the current fabric myself but no point buying the F57 Union Jack one if it is wider, especially at the windscreen end, that wouldnever get adjusted. It was a long shot that someone would be able to measure one against the other lengthway, width at windscreen and lastly above the belt line around from side window to side window. I can't do it as I am on an oil installation for another two weeks.
Not looking good...

A shame. I would really like to see a way for you to work that out. Mine is a 2010 pepper white and would enjoy having that Union Jack top.
