They look to have the same rear bumper so if you want to get the AMG rear diffuser, I would get the VIN of a SL63 (either from an MB dealership or you can find one of Ebay) and take the VIN to the MB parts department and they can find out what you would need to switch diffusers...

Before I switched to the Revozport rear diffuser, I converted my 2006 SL65 rear bumper to a 2009 SL63 rear bumper and diffuser by doing the above (taking a SL63 VIN from one off my local MB dealership lot) and taking that to the parts department. After they printed out all the parts needed for the conversion, I ordered from MB. It took about a week for delivery.
