Is the SGH-I467 LCD/Digitizer combo compatible with the one in GT-N5100 or GT-N5110?

Hello,
I know for sure GT-N5100 (3G) vs GT-N5110 (Wi-Fi only) have different LCD/Digitizer combo assembly.
Now AT&T's SGH-I467 is 4G LTE.
What really confuses me is a bunch of sellers on eBay are advertising their LCD/Digitizer assembly compatible with N5110 (Wi-Fi only) and SGH-I467 (4G LTE).
In theory Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE have nothing to do with the touch or display functions. If the one in N5100 is incompatible with the one in N5110, I can only imagine it's because the circuit layout is a bit different and the locations of connectors move a bit.
However, I would imagine an LTE circuit board (SGH-I467) would be more similar to a 3G one (N5100) than a Wi-Fi only one (N5110).
Thus, it really confuses me that an assembly is compatible with SGH-I467 (LTE) and N5110 (Wifi) but not with N5100 (3G).
It is possible these sellers are copying descriptions from each other. If a person makes a mistake, it becomes a common mistake.
Does anyone know for sure if I467 is compatible with N5100 or N5110?
Thanks

I think I have solved the mystery. The whole discussion of Wi-Fi only, 3G or 4G is IRRELEVANT. In fact, N5110 (Wi-Fi only) and I467 (4G) would share the same display but NOT with N5100 (3G) is because N5110 and I467 have only one hole for light sensor while N5100 has two holes for proximity sensor/light sensor. N5100 also has a long hole for earpiece while the other two do not. Why I467, a 4G device, doesn't have an earpiece while N5100, a 3G device, does is a mystery to me. I assume this is a business decision by AT&T since I467 is specifically built for AT&T.
