Quick question on tool post holders

I know the difference between wedge and piston type tool posts but, can’t find any info on if the actual tool holders have the same dovetail. So, I was wondering if I bought a wedge type post would my holders I use on my piston post work on the wedge post?

I ask bc I have a bunch of holders and don’t want to have to buy a bunch of holders for the wedge.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that for Aloris, the holders fit both wedge and piston tool posts alike. I'd look at the ASloris website - do they make a distinction?
 
I’m sorry guys I forgot I asked this and got busy and something else I was thinking about made me think of it. You know what Joe, I never even thought of looking at part numbers to see if they were the same or not. Wow,how did I not think of that? I guess when you don’t have tune to actually catch your breath simple things just slip your mind.

Thanks to both of you,joe and Awanda, yes they will work with either.
