The dealers could not even help me! Other than to state that the numbers between the two are different.
The first step in determining cross compatability like this is to check with the dealership and get the part numbers (which you've done). If the part numbers are different, call your local NAPA, AutoValue, AutoZone, etc, and ask them to look up the parts in their database and get the part numbers from both of those units. If the aftermarket part numbers are the same, you stand an excellent chance of being able to swap the two different Volvo parts and not break/burst/damage anything.
I just did this with a '91 940 Turbo with a blown fuel pump just two months ago. I had a spare pump from an '86 Turbo sitting at home, the dealership part numbers were different, but the aftermarket no-name brand pumps from NAPA had the same part numbers. I then assumed that if they could supply a single pump that would meet the demands of both vehicles, then I would probably be ok making the swap. However, installing a non-turbo fuel pump into a turbo car would be a different story and I probably wouldn't do that except for a temporary fix (the Turbo needs a higher volume and flow).
God bless,
