Airbrake snow/MX differences?

I have a pair of Airbrakes for snowboarding, but now need a pair of goggles for my dirtbike.

Before I buy a pair of Airbrake MX's, I'm curious if anyone knows if the lenses are interchangable between the two frames.

I know the MX version has the quick release latch on both sides where the snow version only has it on one side.

Anyone for sure or have both?
 
They are not interchangeable. Not only because the lens profiles is different, but the base curves & lens curvature type are different...

The Airbrake MX has a 6.5 Base Curve, and is only cylindrical (1 axis of curvature; L/R only) lens, as most MX do - some snow goggles have a cylindrical lenses; Fall Line & Line Miner.

The Airbrake Snow has a 8.0 Base Curve, and uses a spherical (2 axis of curvature) lens, as most other snow goggles tend to have; Flight Deck, Canopy, Crowbar, Splice, A-Frame etc.
