Guide R Code R same banjo?

Just purchased a pair of code r to replace my Guide R brakes.
Due to internal cable routing can I get away with leaving the hose in place and simply reconnect code caliper with the same banjo bolt and simply replace the olive and barb at the lever end.
Hope this makes sense!

    Sram have a good document about their hoses here: https://www.sram.com/en/service/articles/SRAM-Brake-Hose-Overview

    It looks like they are different, the Guide R uses the silver banjo and the Code R uses the black banjo, they aren't interchangeable.

    Great doc that, thanks for sending.
    I’ll get the black one on order, as the hose on the brake I bought is too short. Think I’ve also sorted the internal cable routing problem, got myself a long bit of unused hose and one of those small red hose connectors.
