Can someone confirm that the 4R valve body is different from the 5R?

According to this thread, the order of the solenoids is the same: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107963&highlight=4r55e+valve+body. This makes me wonder if the 4R will act like a 5R with a different computer controlling it. I know that the 5R has more updates. What if a 5R has a 4R computer? Will it lose it's 5th gear? The valve body is the main control which utilizes the signals coming from the PCM controlling the solenoids.
