The bolt pattern is the same on both gen cars, but the design is somewhat different. The 'tub' part of the oil pan is different with some other subtle tweaks. These are not drastic changes. If I showed you each pan a week apart, you likely wouldn't see a difference big enough to note. Close inspection side-by-side and you will see the changes.
I'd bet a $20 that the FA24 pan will fit all FA20 cars, but I'd only bet $1 that the 1st FA20 pan design might fit an FA24. The FA24 exhaust manifold is closer to the oil pan than the FA20. Not sure if any of these matters for what you're doing, but there it is.
