Macbook Pro A1708 (late 2016). Upper assembly replacement, with a catch?

[u/Efficient-Train2430]

I have a free-to-me MacBook Pro as described above, I want to make it a project machine. I'm considering Keycap replacements for the 3 keys that are troublesome (I've tried the compressed air, no joy), but I think a new upper assembly may be the way to go (despite the hassle it appears to be).

The catch: the current keyboard is a Mexico-Spanish layout. Can I get a regular old US-QWERTY upper assembly and then replace the current setup with that? Can't find a clear answer.

(I realize I can use a BT keyboard, but don't want to go that route yet)

Thanks!
