No I'm afraid that's not possible. They're put together differently.
Nice
wish mine would hurry up and turn up, bloody zavvi 
Red Cliff, changed to 3 disk so I can put in my extended version
I think I have problems with jumbo, after reception they make a diet
I have the same internal artwork in mine.
Cheers man! Thats a small project to try, lets hope i dont destroy my HMV Drive!! No change im trying for the spines on these, may practice on an old one in future but may be safer to not try at all!
Any recommendations on the printing? Good materials etc? I only have my works printer to use
Just make it is laser printed and NOT inkjet printed as inkjet tends to fade and smear in time and blacks can turn purple or blue.
Very nice Blu-devil makes me wish i had them to do it!
Anyway ive been asked how i use the templates, thanks to whoever uploaded it in the first place but heres my little tutorial
Ive uploaded the templates
standard is here: http://wm58.inbox.com/thumbs/41_21d04a_4b8f5a64_oP.png.thumb
double size is here: http://wm58.inbox.com/thumbs/40_21d04b_ca1f3b46_oP.png.thumb
Open template and pic for inside in gimp
On pic if you need to crop it select top left button in toolbox and drag over area to trim. Then go to image tab at the top and 'crop to selection'
Next you need to scale the pic to fit the template. Select the scale tool on the toolbox (4th down on the left) and click on the pic. It will open a new box. You need to make the image the same size as the template (783x483 for standard template 1566x966 for double size)theres a little lock icon next to the pixel numbers in the box click on this to 'unlock' it so as you can scale it both ways. I tend to use the double size template to keep the resolution then print at 50%.
When scaled go to the edit tab and click 'copy'.
Change to the template and go to the select tab and click 'by colour' and left click anywhere on the black area of the template (it will start having a dotted line moving all around the black area)
Go to the edit tab and click 'paste into' and you should see your image then replace the black area.
Then its just a simple case of saving as a jpeg ready to print, standard template at 100% double at 50%.
PS. did my in time yesterday, wasnt going to post it here (already on the boards twice! but i like it
I can't for the life of me figure this out. I've tried following your instructions but can't get it. Are they accurate? I've never used GIMP before, so that might have something to do with it, but it's doing my head in. I can usually figure things out, but this has me stumped. I think I need a for dummies version.
[Edit] I've just figured it out. Went away, thought about it, went back, figured it out. Cheers.
[Edit] Stuck again. I've got the image. Now how do I print it out the right size?

No idea about a guide but if you use photoshop I can send you the psd template
Well people have been busy 
There should be a setting in your printer options or page setup to scale the print how you like, if you've used the double scale to 50% if stanard 100%
Matrix trilogised as I'd run out of single inserts
And a few Loopers for my fellow Ninjas
