EPS extension on GPU PCI-E extension...?

I have what is labelled as an 8-pin EPS 12v extension... can I use this as an extension for a GPU PCI-E 8-pin? They are the same wires aren't they, just the end which you don't see is different, but the PCI-E cable from PSU goes on to it just fine. I can't see any difference or am I being daft?
 
Yes I know what it's typically for, I just have one spare and no extra PCI-E 8-pin extension (I need x2 for 980Ti). Actually I think you're right... comparing the two they are slightly different at the ends. I am using a BeQuiet Pure Power L8 630W.
 
Yes I do need extension for reach, so will need to get one. Just happened to have the 12v one spare, but realise now it won't work.
