Are all A1297 cases compatible?

RE: MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011)

The body ("upper case" part) is warped from when the original battery overheated and swelled. Otherwise, everything works great. I'd like to replace the case by buying a "for parts" machine with an upper case in good condition and swap the lid and internals.

My question is: Are all A1297 upper cases compatible? Or do I need to find a specific Early 2011?

Thank you!
