XL / MK4 Nozzle Interchangeability

Wow.  Interchangeability.  Lots of letters.

Anyway, here’s the question: Aside from the minor difference in cable length, are there any differences between the XL and MK4 hot end heaters and thermistors?  Spec-wise, they seem equivalent.  The connectors look the same as well.  What I’m hoping is that I can build some nozzle assemblies (nozzle, block, thermistor, heater) that will work on both the XL and MK4, opting for the slightly longer cable versions and just neatly dealing with the excess cable where needed.
Thoughts?

Ok.. well a timely reddit (remember that place?) post somewhat addressed my question:

Looks like aside from the cable length and a bend in one of the wires, they're the same.
