Is the wiper stalk the same as the early Corrado one?

It's just that I have a set of those here

I've already managed to source an early type wiper stalk, thirty nikka which aint too bad considering the other one the geez wanted double! Going to have to do some re-wiring tho, found the wires in the loom under the bonnet had fried too! Give me something to do over the weekend, nagging missis, whining kids and cutting me fingers under the hood, the joys!!!
