Default xj spare tire bumper fit on the zj?

Just as the title says, will the stock Cherokee spare tire carrier bumpers fit and bolt on the Grand Cherokee?

Maybe someone else can help with this because I'm not sure I have seen a factory spare tire bumper? Everything I have seen was added later.

I was able to talk to some diy bumper folks on another site who explained there are too many differences between the Cherokee XJ and the Grand Cherokee ZJ to make it worth doing. It is not a bolt on option, you have to do cutting and fabrication and there is a difference in the width of the two as well.
