Ford E-Series Seatbelt Retractor Compatibility

This is a fairly obscure question, but does anyone know if the 2008+ E-Series Seat Belt Retractor Wall Mounting points is the same spacing [compatible] with the < / = 2007?

I have a 2003 E-350 that I'm about to bolt some 2008+ seats into. While Ford kept the seat bolt pattern identical, in 2008 they changed the seat belt tongue to be more narrow. Thus I need to change either the tongue or the receiver to be compatible. Because my belt is old and ratty and the retractor is limp, I'm considering trying to install a new OEM 2008+ retractor which would mate with my new 2008+ seats perfectly. The retractor is a different design though, and I have no idea if Ford changed the spacing of the torx screw and the other mounting point where it attaches to the wall of the van. I may just need to snag one off of ebay and try it, but if any of you guys know the answer and could save me the hassle, that would be great!
