Do Nintendo 64 motherboards fit in any revision N64 case?

I have an original launch Nintendo 64 that I took good care of over the past 25 years, but alas it now exhibits the random reset issue. I narrowed the issue down to the motherboard. Newer revision motherboards are allegedly more reliable. If I get a newer revision motherboard (e.g. CPU-08 or CPU-09), can I drop it into a launch day revision N64 and expect it to fit in properly and work as expected? My concern is some screw positioning or a variation of the metal shroud will prevent it from seating correctly.

If your console is from launch, any value it has would be reduced by replacing the motherboard, also motherboards aren't generally sold separately so you will probably receive a case with the new one.
I'd suggest keeping them both as is, and swap the entire console and get back to playing :)

Launch consoles did have some minor issues, but since it hasn't presented this issue before now (25 years later). I'd say it might benefit from an internal cleaning 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and cotton swabs, you don't have to get very aggressive, but you can watch good restoration videos on YouTube.
