Well,

  I have the answer !

  They ARE different !

  In my G4 it is was the same color as the G3 one sent to me.

  However there are additional holes in the G4 plate over the
  G3...

  However, a rotozip and a friend (to hold rotozip like an upside
  down router) solved that problem.

  Plate is in my G4 and now holding the side firmly closed !
