Default St170 cam bearing caps onto blacktop head?

I'm building a mix match of st170 bottom end with blacktop zetec racing head with throttle bodies and 4-2-1 exhaust, I'm just missing the cam bearing caps from the blacktop head I have everything else, I have a silvertop sitting in the garage and the head from the st170 spare, will either sets of cam bearing caps fit my blacktop head? I can't find any evidence of them being similar or different
thanks

You cannot just randomly swap parts like that, as they will be line bored to each engine.

Caps must remain in the exact location they came from the factory.
