ECU from a European Exige Cup 240

Anyone knows if you can fit the ECU from a European 2008 Exige S240 into a USA Exige? Are these two different units (the USA and European) or are they identical?

they are identical in hardware, but not software, also the dealer cannot update it to a federal spec, doing so will disable the car.
