w166 GLE 350 SUV vs GLE Coupe same front grille fitment?

I am looking to replace a cracked upper front grille and like the look of the "diamond grill" or the 2 vs 4 winged MB logo grille which seems to be only for the GLE coupe. Does anyone know if the fit is the same for a GLE 350 w166 generation? Mine is a 2017 GLE 350 SUV.

Yes I know the +/- $200 grilles on eBay and Amazon are knock-offs, I'd rather spend the extra 300-400 on a performance vs, cosmetic upgrade...

I put this same grille i( bought from same source) n my 2015 ML even though it said it was for 2016 GLE and up. It was not a perfect , drop in but I was able to get it to work with only using a hack saw blade to trim some body surround tabs.
