Is there any difference between the EA & EB boot lids where the garnish / number plate panel mounts due to the EB having the reverse lights on this panel?

i know the eb lid has 2 holes cut through the boot lid for the bulb of the reverse light to go through, so im guessing that the EA wouldnt have these holes, only difference that i could think of. but i have not looked at the EA lid behiend the garnish before.

Yes there is a difference between the two, the EB boot lid has provisions to house the two reverse lights where the EA boot lid doesnt as there reverse lights are in the tail lights.
