the 'official' answer is no - the XR one is supposed to have a smaller diameter tube.
However, I got one from a breakers off a late (H-J) 2.0 XR4x4 which was identical to the cossie one, even down to the part number stamped on it.. So I guess you just need to have a look at it and see. They will 'fit' though, although I suppose the larger tube of the cossie one would make it stronger.

I fitted one off an early xr4x4, this was a bit longer than the cossie one and is supposed to be better for cossies that have been lowered.
