Modifying two 3490's to combine features
I have two 3490s and I'd like to combine features:
3490 #1 has an Ultra 7, fingerprint sensor and the basic camera with the 250 nits non-touch screen.
3490 #2 has an Ultra 5, no fingerprint sensor, but the upgraded 400 nits, Non-Touch, FHD HDR IR Camera, EMZA Prox. Sensor screen.
Is there a (swapping RAM/battery/SSD replacement easy) way of swapping the screen/camera from #2 to #1, resulting in one "fully loaded" 3490 and one "basic" 3490 and having both work as intended?

It is technically possible, but since the systems are undoubtedly in warranty, bear in mind
1. The warranty will not cover anything you damage in disassembly or reassembly, and
2. If there's evidence of damage and a warranty repair becomes needed, Dell may well invalidate the warranty.

@ejn63 Yes, you verified exactly what I was thinking.
These are very strange configurations - why the upgraded screen/camera and no fingerprint sensor. Equally, why a fingerprint sensor and the basic camera.
Thank you for your insight.
