Starter relay vs door lock relay on S3 xj6

Are the two above relays interchangable? Only difference I see is there are 2 lugs on terminal W2 on starter relay and only 1 lug on door lock relay.

Looking at the diagrams I'd say "yes", they are interchangeable...at least in terms of electrical operation. Not sure about load rating, physical size, etc

Thanks Doug. They look identical in size so I just put a double lug fitting on W2 so I can hook up the two wires to it when and if my existing relay dies. Only doing this to have a spare.
