Fuse Box replacement

[LSXBeemer]

So, my fuse box has the some spot in it that have melted. It's been that way since I've owned the car. I have an '88 535is

I came across someone who is parting his Euro '85 525e. He's got a good looking fuse box, minus the cover. I took a picture of it, and it looks like it's a match to mine. I tried searching, but I didn't come up with any straight answers.

Will a fuse box from a Euro 85 525e work for my US 88 535is?

Thanks in advance.

The boxes have different part numbers, but I have no idea of how they differ:
