I started looking into this, too, and came up with 2 related questions on 17:
How can one tell if you have Folding top or EH Folding top?
Part 17 shows a change as of 07/2007:
Up to 07/2007:
Left: 54347123027 Right: 54347123028
After 07/2007:
Left: 54347079587 Right: 54347079588
(I had to use BMW of South Atlanta to get this straight. Their diagrams are more accurate and up to date then RealOEM, but harder to navigate.)

I wonder if the post 2007 part will fit on a 2006?
Maybe it's been improved, and is backward compatible?
ECS says the old parts are superseded by the new, so I think the answer is Yes.
