Are the SB Live and Audigy Drive faceplates interchangeable?

In an attempt to make my black case more aesthetically pleasing, I'm trying to get a black face plate for my Live Drive.

I have the Live Drive IR from the SB Live 5.1 Platinum. It only comes in white.
I know the Audigy Drives come in black. The only difference is the firewire port.
Some sites are telling me that it's only compatible with Audigy's, which I don't believe, since it's just a plastic covering.

Can somebody confirm this?
 
They are physically the same. Using an Audigy plate on a Live shouldn't be a problem. You'll have hole where the firewire port should be, but everything else lines up. On the Live Drive I have, there actually is a hole in metal behind the plastic plate specifically shaped like the firewire port, so you if you had a fire card you could route a cable through that and make your own front accessible firewire port. Creative had apparently been planning on adding a firewire port for at least a year before the Audigy came out.
