Difference between bottom pan A1226 and A1211

[xiayanlawrence]

Hi everyone:
My 15'' macbook pro got a dent on the bottom pan recently and I decided to change it.
But I just found out that the bottom pan that I purchased has a Model A1211, while my macbook pro is A1226.
By comparing the photos on ifixit, I personally can't see any difference between these two bottom cases.
Could somebody please tell me if these two pieces are interchangeable? I don't wanna dissect all the components and find out they can't fit the new bottom pan.
First post here. Wish somebody can help me! Thank you guys very much!
