Are the screens from an A2442 and an A2779 MacBook Pro the same?

I have a 2023 A2779 MacBook Pro that the screen got damaged. A replacement is +/- $500. I have an opportunity to buy a 2021 A2442 MacBook Pro for a lot less. The reason is that the company that was using it got new ones and because there is now no hard drive to remove, they drilled the NANDs. So, the MacBook will not ever work without replacing the very expensive NANDs.
I have looked at E-Bay and the screen for my A2779 and the A2442 are listed as the same screen. While I can get this MacBook Pro cheap, it is still not free and so I want to be sure that it will fit. Can anyone confirm this? Below is a screen shot from one of the ads.

Even if the display fits, you would not be able to just swap out the displays and have a fully functional machine, as the replacement display would need to be configured/paired with the logic board.

So how do you pair it with the logic board?

Well, I am very, very happy to say that this information is incorrect. I bought the used A2442, removed the screen, kept the lid angle sensor with the original computers and when I turned it on, everything worked. It then popped up a notice that I had done a screen repair. It asked if I wanted to configure it and restart. So I did. It then did some checks and said that it was a genuine Apple part. It finished, restarted again and the screen is flawless. No artifacts, no issues at all. It look just like the original screen.

I both love and hate cats. My cat damaged the screen on my 2023 A2779 MacBook Pro. A little tiny spot at first, I could live with it. Then it grew until the screen was just black.
I saw that on Ebay the A2442 and A2779 screens were the same, but at $500 for a non-Apple part, I was gun shy.
So I found a A2442 M1 MacBook Pro on Goodwill that had "Drilled" NANDs. I bought it for $250. Yes, a risk, but worth it.
I asked around here and was told it can't be done, it won't work and not to do it. Youtube videos showed screen replacements and that I may have to swap over a few SMD chips to make it work.
Well, I am happy to say, that is not the case. Because I used a genuine Apple screen, it just worked. It came up with a notice that I had replaced the screen and asked if I wanted to calibrate it. I did and it identified it as a real Apple screen and did its thing.
I am using it right now and the screen is as good as new, no issues what so ever. So, it can be done and Tahoe even walks you through the calibration.
