Default Are SC and MKIV Supra Tie Rods Interchangeable?

Wondering if the inner/outer tie rods are interchangeable between SCs and MKIV Supras. From the diagrams they look to be the same. Can anyone confirm this?

If they are the same...
Are there any differences between them as far as performance? Reason I ask is because one of my tie rod ends may be going out and I wanted to know if the Supra ones were beneficial in any way. Maybe they are tighter which may create a tighter steering feel. Any sort of help would be great.

Just wanted to update that the oem sc inner tie rods have the same part number as mkiv supra. JIC tie rods also have the same part numbers for both applications. So they should be interchangeable.

Still wondering if the outer tie rods are the same. I already know that the part numbers do not match. Maybe it is because the supra ones are tighter. Either that or the design is slightly different.
