Default C5 vs C6 Diff Bolt Pattern?

Hi, I've been reading on this forum that the C5 and C6 differentials are swappable with the exception of the cradle mounting points (mounting face is identical). I just wanted to confirm for a project of mine, is this true?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Only on 2005 M6 C6. Same pattern as C5 6 speed. Trans and rear. 2006 and up are different.
