Using XP-E/XP-G in XR-E housing?

I was also wondering about whether or not XP-G LED's would be able to be used in XP-E optics. I realize they are the same external dimensions, but was wondering if, because of the larger die size, the XP-E optics would not be able to focus the light in the same way.
Finally found an example of an XP-E being put into an XR-E flashlight (D10 modified for UV)

Who knows how many lumens are lost under the reflector. Maybe it's just the pictures, but it looks like alot of light is going 90 degrees out from the emitter which has me concerned.

Regarding the amount of light lost, run through the XP-E datasheet to get a rough idea. From what I've heard the XP-G has a slightly wider emission pattern, so you might be able to get an estimate of the light lost.
