Will it fit though? They look identical.
They look similar but far from identical. Look at the width of the outer modules.

tried it, it seems to be OK but when you stress CPU and GPU when on battery only (no charger) than it tends to shutdown (hard)
So, NOT COMPATIBLE
The answer is *almost* helpful. It does 15" for 2015 and 13" for 2013. But what about compatability between 2013 and 2015 15" ? In 2017, Apple replaced the battery in my late-2013 15" Retina, and 18 months later that battery started swelling a little - now swollen enough to pop the flap at the back hinge.
