AFAIK since both have identical SoCs and same amount of ram, as well as the same screen resolution.

I hope this post is allowed, and I'm asking this question from a perspective of someone who doesn't know much at all about Kindle's own hardware. Would love to learn it more though.
If you try to install the a firmware from a different model Kindle, it just won't work. You won't be able to try installing it.
