this has came up before and i don't think they're the same. you may be able to transfer the hole(s) you need and drill and tap as needed. the 9 bolt isn't very popular, or has limited usage on thirdgens.

Differences from disk to drum are different but I think drum to drum or disk to disk are the same.
The 9 bolt is stronger but isn't popular in north america because of the few parts that are available. If you know someone in AU who can ship you needed parts then it's worth using but then after the cost of shipping it makes 10/12 bolts affordable. Just because parts are available somewhere else in the world doesn't make the product a good deal.
