Dial swap - DJ2 Azzuro Roman dial in DJ41

I've always liked the Azzuro blue Roman dial from the Datejust 2, but find the fit of the Datejust 41 much better.

My goal is to have a Datejust 41 with an Azzuro blue dial and I was wondering whether technically the dials and hands can be swapped (this would be through an independent certified watchmaker with Rolex experience, with parts sourced from me). Please note I am aware of warranty issues and challenges, I am asking if *technically* this is possible (ie. dials and hands are interchangeable across both models).

Datejust 2 (ref. 116334): 41mm diameter; 12.22mm thick; 3136 movement.

Datejust 41 (ref 126334): 41mm diameter; 11.70mm thick; 3235 movement.

Pics below of DJ 2 with azzuro blue dial with romans, and side by side photo of DJ 2 (with oyster bracelet) next to a DJ 41 (with jubilee bracelet).

Thanks in advance.

No, the 31 series uses dial feet and the 32 series dials have an edge which 'clips' onto the side of the movement. These dials are not interchangable.

Thank you very much for your reply. That's a shame that it's not possible.
