Yes and no. They are all the same, BUT if you look you'll see the filter is moved from one nipple to the other on some (two different configurations). The filter can be repositioned by pulling on it. It'll come off, then reinsall on the nipple it should be on.

In other words you can't swap the Relief solenoid with the EGR solenoid without moving the filter on the solenoid.

Go stare at the solenoids and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The ones w/ the filter are also intechangeble, you just have to remove(carefully!) the filters.
