Default Curvy - Pointy front caliper swap?

Do the pointy (07) calipers drop straight onto a curvy (01)?

No hurry, just interested in knowing.

front ones are the same, rear ones are completely different. But he said caliperS so I presume he means front.

Yeah sorry, I did mean the front ones only. I know the backs dont swap becuase the mounting plate is totally different.
Anyway awsome, I have a pair of front calipers from the pointy in a bag and it seems easier to service those ones then just swap them onto the curvy. It means I dont have to have the curvy sat with out calipers while I find time to do a service meaning it'll be off the road for less time.

Bring it round here if you want, full caliper service takes about 3 hours.
