Are (late) Gen3 front differentials the same as Gen4 (2019+)?  Ratio and crownwheel bolt count, I mean.

Thanks in advance to resident gurus.

Gen4 - MT 4.090 
Gen4 - AT 4.300 
Gen3 - MT 4.300
Gen3 - AT 4.090

And yes, I did double check as they are reversed between versions according to this.

I checked the part numbers between the varients and they are completely different

My research on ratios shows the same "pattern" that Martin found, and like Martin I found it curious that the ratios were "reversed" for the manual & auto models.

For the crown wheel bolt patterns, as far as I know the same ARB air lockers fit both gen 3 & 4 so the bolt patterns should be identical.
