Short answer: No

Better answer:
Never attempt to "downgrade" a new model device (any device) to a firmware that is older than its initial release firmware.
Even if you could, don't try it. Assume the manufacturer had a reason for developing the newer firmware rather than shipping the one they already had on hand.

Longer answer:
Have you powered it on yet?
If not, do you have a Linux PC available (not as a VM, as an actual install)?
PM me about the above answers.

It will not help you downgrade the KT2, but it may help the overall effort.
