Can I swap washer pumps over?

My rear window washer doesn't work. It hasn't worked since I bought the car a few months ago. I don't like the headlight washer feature, so was wondering if I can simply swap these two pumps over (assuming the problem with the rear window washer is the pump)? Are the pumps the same, but just connected to different hoses?

The headlight washer is a smaller pump so they're not interchangeable. The replacement is only about $15 though, and a quick easy swap.

Thanks for the quick reply thrillcat. I'll order a replacement pump off eBay, assuming I can find the right one.

The front windshield pump & rear tail gate pump are "twins" and can be interchanged...hence they sit side by side. As mentioned above, the HL washer pump is different:
