Does 400 Amp Bulldog Winch Shut-Off Switch Fit Bracket of 200 Amp Shut-Off Switch

Question

Question:

There is a switch kit that has a mounting bracket but is only rated for 200 amps. Can I swap it out for this BDW20247 but still utilize the same mounting bracket? I mean if I buy both items can I fit the higher amp switch into that smaller amp switches mounting bracket?
