Adapter for Connecting Yakima ButtonDown Rack to JetStream Crossbars

Question

Question:

I have an older model Yakima ski rack, presumably Buttondown, that comes with vertical mounts for Subaru factory crossbars. I am trying to fit these onto Jetstream crossbars but couldnt find any Mightymount adapters. I am attaching a picture of the old bracket. This part looks promising, do you think it would fit?
