Swap Under Hood Relay?

Straight to the point: Can the "EGI" and "Circuit" relays under the hood be Interchanged/Swapped?

Back story:
My car has been giving me the random shut-off and won't start up again problem a lot of people have. Every time it happens I can turn my car back on every time by using the FP/GRD on the diagnostic port, so it should be a faulty circuit/egi relay "even though they click". I've tested all the other components and they are all working within spec.

I don't really know which is supposed to be the correct relay for Circuit and EGI. In the FSM, the diagram shows that the yellow relay is the EGI relay, however from other pictures that I've seen on here, people have the green relay in the EGI port instead. So that's also why I'm thinking they're interchangeable.

Now, I have an extra "Green" relay that I know is good, so I wanted to find out if I can put the green relay in place where the yellow relay was to test it? I've tried searching and couldn't find that info.

All of those relays internally look identical, but they different part #'s so I wanted to be sure before I tried to test it that I won't screw up the good relay.

Thanks

Alright so I said screw it and swapped the relays and it worked, so for those of you who are interested in knowing, the relays are apparently interchangeable if you need to troubleshoot anything.
