Ah OK, I wasn't sure.

Still, can these be swapped?

And no, I do not trust Boeing (or Airbus or any companies) to auto-regulate themselves. The history of auto-regulation shows it will fail at times in absence of a strong watchdog that will make them suffer if they aren't auto-regulating well. That watchdog, the FAA, says the MAX planes are OK. And I would have believed it no questions asked before. Except that right now we have an administration that doesn't believe in science on one hand, and all the other authorities (except Canada, and that may not last) that decided to ground the plane. Can't say it makes me feel good.
