Is this the same power button board?

Trying to locate a G62 power button board and it's like pulling teeth.

I have noticed a shocking similarity to the G42 power button board so much so I'm asking if they can be used in a G62?

Link to G62 switch:

Link to G42 switch:

The layout and switches appear to be identical other than a different fold in the ribbon cable for the G42 power switch.

Any and all input is appreciated Thanks.

Update:

It's an identical board, with an identical layout, using identical components resistors etc rated for the same voltage with identical pin outs. A different serial number stamped on it being the only difference would cause it to be nonfunctional ?
