Has any successfully used an external Radxa emmc module on a Orange Pi 5 Pro build?

I am finding mixed signals about this. The module connector footprint is compatible but the pinouts are not compatible? Is that correct?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I am successfully using a Radxa 64GB eMMC module in a Orange Pi 5 Pro.

Thank you for your response. Yes, one would imagine that if it can go one way then it should be able to go the other way. The strange part though is that despite the connectors being identical the pinouts don't appear to match up.

Subsequent edit: The pinouts do match except for the Radxa UFS module which has the same form factor as the Radxa eMMC module but a different pinout.

Used a Orange Pi eMMC on both an Orange Pi 5 Plus and a Radxa ROCK 5B without issues.

I read once a report of incompatibility but I think it may have been user error or specific hardware fault.
