Can someone please confirm if later TJ tailgate hinge, '04-06, will fit an '03 directly?

I always thought they were the same, only the 04 and newer had black plastic covers- can anyone verify?

I thought that was the case, as well.

Based on EBay, there appears to be a difference.
The later ones (04-06) have a bulge on the back side.
(Some say 03-06.)

The jeep body has an indent for that bulge.
