#1 | BMW Vario top box datum

Hi all
Does anyone know if the BMW Vario top box fits directly to the standard SE top box plate? I've seen something on an S1000XR forum which suggest it does (same plate fitted OEM to RS and XR) but wanted to double check here.

Last year I tried one from a R1200GS LC while at the dealer and it fit on the RS rack.
One of the members from the old RS site used a Vario top box on his RS.

When the shop owner saw the Vario top box fit, he tried a all black F800GS top box and it also fit the RS rack.

Yes, clips right on to the standard rear rack. I looked at doing this before deciding to go with the side cases. Here are the pictures I took at the dealer checking the fit on the bike they had in the showroom. And I don't understand why some pictures display sideways.
