What are the thoughts on using a Southern Impala Head Skin/Cape on a Old set of East African Impala horns ?

I have a Big set of EA Impala horns & no way of getting a Cape now days & was wondering what might people here think on using a common SA Cape ?

I have seen a lot of them & the body size looked very close, the last trip to Kenya, I was looking at SA the day before & next day looking at EA Impala, Wart Hog & Baboon, all three looked slightly different (later I saw the Baboon was a different species lol) the EA was maybe a little different in colour, ever so slightly more Orange but dam close.
 
Same. I can’t perceive many would notice the difference. I know I would not.
 
Find a super young, like year and a half old southern Impala ram cape so the east African horns look even bigger haha.
 
Thanks guys, yes I think so to, I'll pick one up next time I'm there .

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
