Yes it's the same switch, but you will still need the Switchcrat Deep Nut or a nut that would fit. I looked on Amazon it's 6.29, but ebay has one from lone_star_guitars for 6.99 with shipping that looks like the shaft on the nut is shorter so you wouldn't have file it down or cut some of it off to make it work.

is the shaft you were saying to file down the part with the threads ?

This is what mine looked like. Switchcraft Deep Nut, For Toggle Switches, Nickel | eBay
The shaft is too long so when the nuts are tight the switch is still loose in the pickguard.
****I don't know what I was thinking!!!****It's not the nuts get tight
It's that there isn't enough threads above the pickguard for the top nut to go on.

You're Welcome. If you need any more info or help with install let me know.
Pickguard planet has a selection of pickguards for the 2017 Mustang. Got mine from them. Only modification I’ve done since that is get a white knob for the toggle.
Nice! Looking at your Bridge I see the E string saddle is way back about like mine was. So if you ever plan on a new bridge you might have to move it back about 1/8th of inch. Can't find Pickguard Planet. Do you have a link?

It’s a weird site to navigate, but it was the best site I found with the best options for the 2017 Mustang.
Weird is right because it doesn't work for me. It's in Japanese. I use the Translator and there is no pickguards to be found.lol
I fitted the Fender High-mass bridge to mine. It still uses the original holes but the back of the bridge is further back so giving a shallower angle to the strings.
I started to get a red one, but I went with vintage white instead. I think the bridge would look better if it were moved back a little, but that's just me. Take a look this one.

I like the way that looks. I see there are a couple Fender Hi Mass bridges on eBay for around $25-$30. Are those legit or are the Hi Mass bridges usually more expensive?
That seems about right, they are usually quite reasonably priced.

I would make sure it had Fender written on it like this one from eBay The Stratosphere.

This is where I bought my white pickup covers:

Ok Thanks. I only need the Precision. I can't change the SD Apollo cover because I think it's glued on.
Seconded. The dark pup covers is the one thing that's a little off about these, just a bit too heavy for the color schemes. Makes the smaller bass feel like it's all pickups. White covers change that, they look great.
Pickguards are arriving today, looking forward to getting the mint guard off of my Torino Red fretless. I bought two, so I'll see if if looks good on the sonic blue with the white pick ups. If not, I'll set it.
