Is the V6 radiator cap same as V8?

My V6 is making a gurgling sound after i turn engine off, which a shorn google search has indicated it might be a faulty radiator cap.

Temp gauge seems fine.

Are they the same cap?
I bought 2 of the same caps, one for my V6 and one for my V8. Although the listing was for V8.
No problem with it on my V6.
as @Fu Manchu says, use the genuine ones e.g. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/175128980019?

Same deal with the VEs. I bought the same cap for my SSV and my SV6 and it fitted on both of them. Was only the cap location that varied, with the SSV being on the radiator and the SV6 being on the engine.
