Would these fit on a facelift model without any faffing about or are they a different shape/bolt layout. Would obviously have to swap the bulb holders too...

no, pre-facelift rear lights are not as tall as the facelift ones, so they won't fill the gap.

Only way to do this would be to change the entire rear panel and bumpers, mounts etc. The rear panel is weld in. so not a chance of doing this easily or cheaply.
