G37 Vert/Coupe Vs. G37 Sedan Splash Shield Swap - Easy Oil Change?

Ok, so I have a 2010 G37 Convertible and a 2012 G37xS Sedan. My Vert's splash shield requires me to only remove 4 bolts and I can easily fold the shield to enable easy oil changing. My Sedan requires me to remove 12 or more bolts to remove the entire splash shield to change the oil. Silly question, is it possible to swap a vert/coupe splash shield in for a sedan?

I have an 09 sedan and it allows for the 4 bolt removal/shield fold down oil change method too. So I have to presume the the splash shield must have changed on the sedan between 09 and 12?

Perhaps pull both of them off and lay one over the other to see if all the holes line up.

I've got a 2010 sedan and I can access the oil pan/filter just by removing the 4 rear-most bolts and folding down the splash shield. Maybe there was a change for 11+ like BB said.
