Does anyone out there know if the buttstocks on the MAS 36 and 49/56 rifles are interchangeable?

A quick look at mine, and I would say no. Similar in appearance, but nothing lines up at all.

Thanks, cheapshooter. I was wondering, since I read an account that the original MAS 44 was designed to use the existing woodwork from the MAS 36.
