BL20p enhanced and standard models: signal backplane boards compatibility

I have the standard model of the Bl20p enclosure series (separate iLO port for each server).
Can I replace the signal backplane PCA board of the enhanced model by using that PCA of the standard?

For information:

Enhanced model (281404-B22)
Standard model (281404-B21)

Thanks.

Check page 5&6 and you will see the difference :

The signals are routed differently and the signal backplane will expect enhanced management module to route all ilo ports to...
