Default Are these usb boxes identical

My dreaded usb connectors under the armrest are shot....they have taken to many coffee shots. My question to you is do you know if the following boxes are identical. The 2014-2016 IS comes with the 86190-53051 usb box and the 2017-2020 comes with part number 86190-78010 usb box

THEY LOOK IDENTICAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CONNECTORS. A BUDDY OF MINE HAS THE 86190-78010 & IS WILLING TO SELL IT TO ME FAIRLY CHEAP JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM IT WOULD WORK.

Most auto makers change the part number when they change suppliers, even though the actual parts are identical.

True, but part numbers are also changed in the circumstance that a physical part remains the same but the wiring pinout changes.

That’s definitely a reason to change part numbers.
