HDE Rotor Button Applause vs Feroza part

Does anybody know if these are the same, even though the distributor cap is different between the two?

I chose to run the Applause dizzy when I did my engine swap, as the one on the old motor was a big part of the awful pinging which eventually destroyed it, but the Applause dizzy makes it very difficult to access when it's in a Feroza, so I've finally been forced to do a little maintenance today and have a spare Feroza dizzy cap and rotor button. Because it's such a tight squeeze, it's a bit of a job to put the cap on and try the other button as a trial.

I know I need to go get myself a new cap tomorrow, but apart from some very MINOR differences, the rotor buttons seem to be the same. Anybody know if the part numbers are the same?

OK, managed to sort this one out.

The rotor buttons are the same part number for Feroza and Applause.

Dizzy caps are different and aren't interchangeable.

Yeah Bosch lists them both as GD696, but I vaguely remember MM talking about a certain part, unsure what part, but whatever manufacturer thought "Applause / Feroza - same HD-E engine, same part" but it wasn't the case.

The rotors are weird little buggers hey. I gotta pull my cap off and check mine out, its on the to-do list lol (pushed down a fair bit since that guy on WARFS had all the spring/weight holders bust on him).
