Do all grilles have the same fittings?

I broke 3 tabs on my chrome grille when I swapped it for the black one and as I am returning the car to the dealer I need a new one. Will a chrome grille from any f30/31 fit an m sport or will it need to be another m sport grille?

Real OEM does appear to show different part numbers depending upon whether it's an MSport, basic, Sport etc.

Non m sport ones have a different number of slats, although you can swap your slats into the surround of a non m sport one
