ML310E gen8 V2 - Four bay LFF drive cage - I see two different models

Good morning, I hope you understand my English, I write from Italy.
I purchased a ML810e Gen8 V2 with 8 SFF drive cage.
I want to buy 4 SFF cage hot-plug drive, I found two different models.

writes: HP 4U 4 Large Form Factor Hot Plug Hard Drive Backplane Kit 674839-B21
NOTES: The LFF Kit is a backplane kit designed for NHP LFF to hot-plug LFF.

On ebay I also find this: 686745-002 / 822755-001
Suitable for:

HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 v2
HP ProLiant ML350e Gen8 V2
HPE Gen9 ProLiant ML30 range

visually the two backplanes differ in the shape of the holes and the exit direction of the pin.

are all compatible? can I mount any one?

Thank you

I thank you, but your answer does not solve the problem.
I need the cage + backplane, code 674839-B21 is used to transform LFF NHP into a hot-plug
can I put product links on ebay?
