Recon forks lockout/motion control

Hi,
If you can see the 2 pics, you'll see the tops of some Rockshox recon forks. The forks with the motion control are coil spring 130mm U turns. The forks with the lockout are 120mm solo air spring.
The question is... can I exchange the the two lockout/damping cartridges without any fuss and bother. I can't find any service instructions for the lockout control so don't know how much oil there should be in the fork leg. I've got the service manual from SRAM for the motion control one. Are the two units interchangable without changing the oil levels? Are they interchangable at all?
I fancy having the motion control on the air forks on my best bike.
It'd be a major hassle just swapping the forks over - steerer length issues.
I did ask earlier, but without the pics and possibly in a more confusing way...
Thanks in advance...

straight swap over."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Check the oil levels first,I know that on some U-turn models they have 145ml of oil,instead of the 130ml of oil in fixed travel forks.
Check here.

Must of missed the oil chart. Will change them over after I get hold of some circlip pliers.0
