Alpinestar Tech 8 Straps and Buckles Conversion???

[DEX]

I have a pair of 2005 style Tech 8s, I recently busted one of the aluminum buckle bases so I need to get it replaced. Looking through the catalogue I cant figure out what is what there is like 3 different listings for the same buckle base and straps it seems. But while I was looking through there I was thinking if I got the 2006 style Buckle bases and straps could I convert my 2005 boots to the 2006 style?

my straps from my tech 8s fit on my buddys boots...and his are a few years newer

I think the only differences may be lengh of strap for different sized boots.......
