Default Pointy fork caps in a Curvy?

Could anyone tell me please whether the pre-load adjustable fork caps from a pointy will fit into the tops of the non - adjustable curvy forks?

Easy way would be to see if part numbers are the same. Calipers are the same, so can't see why fork tops aren't either
