difference between s4 and s5 turbo center housings

I'm doing a trade with my s5 bnr stage 2 and a s5 hybrid turbo with stock compressor housing and upgraded wheel. i pulled my turbo and i was going to install this one but the problem im running into is that the oil return on the hybrid turbo, the outlet is round as opposed to square on mine and also the bolt holes on my turbo (and return line) are farther apart then the bolt holes on the hybrid turbo. why is this? it has a s5 turbine housing, is the center housing different as well? possibly be because it's a hybrid? also, would the other guy have been using a s4 front cover and s4 lines? why would they make a hybrid turbo with s5 turbine housing and s4 center housing!? anyone have any answers?

The CHRA's are identical.

The one you're looking at is not a stock Hitachi HT-18 CHRA...
