Thanks. Is the DME relay the same as the starter relay?

My local stores only have this one in stock. It shows up when I search for DME relay but not for starter relay. The prongs and their numbers seem to be the same as the Porsche relays (though the 85 and 86 are inverted in the diagram):

Here's the OEM starter relay:

And the OEM DME relay:

All three look the same, correct? I'd like to buy the local ones today. Thanks
