Are Headliner Panels The Same Between Cars With And Without Sunroof?

Are the headliner panels the same between cars with and without sunroof? I'm most concerned with the long ones on the side, as pictured below. They look the same, but I can't tell. I believe the front (header) panels are different to accommodate the metal trim for the sunroof.

The headliner would be different, but I'm wondering if the panels on the sides of the headliner would be the same between sunroof and non-sunroof cars. No one seems to know.

O right. I read that wrong. OK, would you not be able to tell from photo comparisons?
Or, part numbers? The EPC should know

The lateral panels are different, according to EPC part numbers and footnotes.

116-690-02-25 Lateral paneling - Right , Vehicle without sunroof (Footnote: 188)

I've looked through many photo comparisons, and they look the same, but then at some angles look different. The shipping cost alone of these is quite a bit and makes me not sure I want to gamble on just getting them and seeing if they fit or not. I don't have access to EPC due to the high cost. I use a Russian EPC-like site, but it's not complete and wasn't helpful.

Thank you! So, there clearly is a difference. It makes me wonder if they are the same, other than the ones for the sunroof are just bowed downward a bit more to accommodate. Oh, well. I had an opportunity to get a great deal on some for my car because the hot climate is destroying mine, but don't think I want to pay the shipping if they won't fit, or very well.
