Can I use a passenger seatback on the driver side base

I recently purchased my 2nd Boxster Boxster (1998, Ocean Blue/Gray, 72K miles).

The driver side bolster is worn out, but I have a line on a solid passenger side seat.

It looks like the the cover is the same on the passenger and driver side?

Can I actually use the entire passenger seatback on the driver side?

Per that thread, looks like the passenger and driver seatback upholstery are the same, but nothing about whether the seatback frames themselves are interchangeable?

I had a set out of a 996 last year that I swapped leather on. I wish I could tell you 100% they are the same but I wasn't swapping sides so didn't give it that detailed a look. That being said, what I recall, the seat back frames are identical.

Let's say I'm 98.8% confident!
