Will a Stewart FTB shell fit a FTA powered chassis

I'd like to convert a Stewart FTB from dummy to powered. Just curious if the B shell will fit a std. powered A chassis?

 

TIA

Below is from the HOSeeker.net website.

I don't know how many versions of this they made.  But this one has a DCC plug.

There is also a Bowser/Stewart version.

From the diagram it looks like the frame fits both shells.

Yup I several of both, the powered (or the dummy) chassis works for an A or a B unit body.
