Do the second gen (2003-2009) RX330/RX350 Struts fit the first gen (1997-2003) RX300?

All cars being 4WD or AWD.

Did a quick look using rockauto and kyb's as a reference, and the answer is NO.

If you look at the mount on the strut that attaches to the knuckle, you'll see they are completely different in design. Also, there's apparently something new (air suspension) involved with the struts in the 2nd gen.
