Does anyone know if the old Petzl Spirlock binding would fit on the new Vasak or Sarken crampons?

I love that binding - nice and simple, doesn't create heal pressure like leverlock but more secure fitting than the flexlock binding. My old Vasaks are getting a bit worn out. I have found some of the old style Sarkens with the Spirlock binding (link below) but they are selling for considerably more than the new model! So I was wondering if I got a new model would I be able to swap over the heal binding. The holes look to be in the same kind of position ...

No idea, but when it comes to shelling out, I find 'I'm only going to spend it once' and 'The more I use them, the cheaper it'll be per use' quite helpful. 'I can pay myself back by degrees' helps, too.

To answer my own question (in case it proves useful to anyone else) after a bit of research/playing around - yes it does!
