I'm sorry, sir, but that is not true. I have personally done it.
AP1 tip is a slip fit on the stub pipe with a small bolt used as a set screw threading through a nut in the tip.
AP2 tip slides onto a small bracket welded to the shorter-than-AP1 stub pipe. The small bolt threads into a nut on that bracket, sandwiching a plate inside the tip between that bracket and the bolt head.
AP1 tip on AP2 will hit that bracket before there is anything for the set screw bolt to press against. AP2 tip on AP1 will slide on, but there's nothing for any bolt to thread into.

I tried it too; didn't work because the tips mount differently.

I definitely didn't have that issue but I will say I didn't leave the AP1's on because I didn't like it. Maybe I had it wedged and I didn't realize it? 
I'mma gonna pull off my tips tonight to see what I got in there. I wonder if mine are different?
This is interesting...
