Default Penguin Cadillac tailpiece to bigsby?

Hey guys, any penguin owner change their tailpice?
Im considering a white penguin. It comes with a caddy TP, and I know im a bigsby abuser. Are the mounting holes the same?

If I could find one nearly mint for only $1999 Id be all over one.
Thats too bad I was hoping that if I had to redrill the old holes would at least be covered

Same with my Falcon I had to fill the holes. It really is no biggie, just coat some toothpicks with glue and stick em in, big wooden matches work also, then when it dries touch em with some fingernail polish in white that is!!
