Is A580 LCD screen identical to A500/550?

I am trying to get GGS protector for my new A580.
I am looking at this as described compatible with A580.
That item does not have little hole for light sensor like
this.
Only problem is that it is for A500/550.
So are LCD screens in A550 and A580 identical?

GGS protectors are made out of glass... You can get them on evilbay. There is a special A580 version.

The GGS a550 sticks to the plastic around the screen, I got dust problems since the seal isn't perfect.
It looks like the A580 version stick onto the LCD, can anyone comfrirm?

The A550 protector will fit, but it covers also the LCD frame, and therefore needs the hole for the light sensor. I had one of these, and although it didn't survive a collision with my binoculars, the camera's LCD remained undamaged, so 'as advertised'.
Now I have the A580 GGS protector, which only covers the actual A580 LCD.

I measured A580 and A500 LCD and found them to be identical,ordered this and it fits perfectly.
It is glued around the LCD.
It is fine protector and does not adversely affect view on the screen.
