Will the grommets for the 1st generation Pure Strike 18x20 fit in the 2nd generation Pure Strike 18x20?

I can't tell from the TW website if they are compatible.

Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 Grommet 2016	$5.99	6+
Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 Grommet 2020	$7.99	6+
Babolat Pure Strike 18x20/Tour Grommet	$5.99	6+

The first generation and 2nd generation (2016) are not compatible due to FSI technology which changed the spacing of the strings. The second (2016) and third (2020) are somewhat compatible but the throat piece is not. Our Babolat rep told us that the piece would work in a pinch, but the fit isn’t optimal.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW
