Bumper AND beam swap?

So I've done what I feel is the necessary searching and haven't found a suitable answer to my question.
Which is...
I know that in order to swap bumpers from pre- to post-facelift, and vice-versa, you need to swap basically the rest of the front bodywork. The bumpers skins look to be mostly the same where they meet the rest of the car. I also know that the mounting points are different between pre- and- post bumper skins.
But what I'm wondering is, will the pre- bumper beam swap onto a post- car?
Anyone have any light to shed on this?
(I have two turbo bumpers for my car, one post-, and one pre- with bumper beam. I'd prefer the pre, because I'm looking at a set of factor fogs for it.)
Thanks in advance.

yeah they should all attach the same way with four big bolts.

got pics of my 93 with pre bumper, it's non-turbo and EDM though.

The bumper attaches with no problems, but it aligns not well with the headlights and leaves an ugly gap.

Thanks guys, thats what I was looking for.
I'm gonna try it, and if I don't like it there'll prolly be a pre-facelift turbo bumper with factory fogs in the parts shed.
