Chrome Diff. Covers

Well i'm the new guy here and I just recently bought my first Ford ever, after 50 years of Chevrolets and other GM cars and trucks and a couple of Mopars I bought a 79 F-350 Camper Special 4x4. My truck has a high pinion Dana 60 front axle and I would like to put chrome cover on it. Is the front cover different from the rear cover? I noticed the fill plug on the front cover is a little lower than the standard rear cover. Will a rear cover work on the front?
Thanks , Gene

Can't answer your question directly, but...

Check and see if the front and rear use the same gasket.
