Converting FCO New Vegas characters to Fallout 3?

I guess this would be more of a Fallout 3 question, but it does involve New Vegas. Anyway, is it possible to for me to take character faces from New Vegas and put them into Fallout 3? I've been trying to copy OnHolyServiceBound's Fallout Character Overhaul Gannon from New Vegas to Fallout 3, but I haven't had a whole lot of success. I copied NV FCO Gannon's face and texture values in the Face and Face Advanced sections of GECK and entered them into Fallout 3's GECK.

 

The first image is my Fallout 3 "port" of OnHolyServiceBound's Gannon. The second image is the original. I changed the eye color in the first image but forgot to change it back.

I can understand that there would be texture differences between the two, since the NV Gannon is from a newer version of the FCO. Maybe it's just me, but I think the facial structure of the first picture is pretty different from the one in the second picture. The noses, mouth width, and eye size look especially different. One of the issues I had was that when I would go to enter the values for each section, they would end up changing if I looked at them again (IE, the 'Nose - sellion down/up' number would go from -3.0200 to -2.9000).

 

I guess my question is, is there any easy way to convert Gannon's face from the New Vegas FCO to the Fallout 3 FCO and have them look more similar than the above images look? I've heard that there are differences in how some facial values are handled between the two games - is that true? If it is, does that mean I have to settle with what I currently have?

 

Edit: I just realized this probably should have gone in the File Discussions section - sorry!

The face shape and texture data can be copied using FO3Edit and FNVEdit, copy/paste the facegen data entries from the FNV character onto the FO3 character ensuring that the races are the same, you can also change the eyes ect in there too. If you're planning on sharing the result it would be wise to ask first.
