Mechanically they are the same and will fit, the only difference is the shade of grey.

You could always spray it to match your van interior if the colour isn’t right mate. Glad you managed to source one

Yes, it will be darker than your current console. Just re read this thread to remind myself what you’ve got and bought and yeah, it should match your dash for colour. It might make your handbrake look odd. But you can buy leather sleeves for them as a cheap fix. This is mine
The sleeve was about 8 quid from jf customs on eBay

Just upgraded from my 2010 sdi to a 2017 caddy black edition, will I be able to swap my much loved Touran console to the 17 and the standard 17 console to the 2010 Not bothered about colour issues as I have Touran seats fitted.

What's the biggest advantage of fitting one?
