Vantage V12 Brake Cooling Ducts into Vantage V8 ?

I just noticed that the V12 Vantage has brake cooling ducts (parts #9+#10):





Has anyone looked into fitting them into a V8 Vantage (probably together with the lower radiator carrier (part#8))?
Or is the architecture of the oil cooler completely different in the V12 and therefore a swap not possible?
If anyone would have some detail pictures on the area of the V12, would be helpful...

I just checked - there is zero space underneath the oilcooler in the Vantage V8 (4.3 that is).

That means the oilcooler in the V12 must be mounted higher up or in another place...

I guess that's a no go then for the cooling ducts.

Edit: apparently the V12 does not have an oil cooler (couldn't find one in the catalogue).
that perfectly explains the open usable space in that location...
