Can you transfer just the head from a morph say from G8M to G9?

I have a character I have transfered from generation to generation. It all started with M4 when I got started in Daz in 07. But with the last transfer, there is an issue with the nipples not lining up with any textures for G9. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer just the head from G8M to G9. The simpler the better, because I have had many problems transfering morphs in the past.

This converter will do head or body only https://www.daz3d.com/figure-converter-for-genesis-9
The converters are far easier and user-friendly. But it can be done with DS but there's many steps involved, and not all shapes will come out good.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the step to view the clones. I think it is right clicking on the bar to enable "Hidden." But from there, I usually dial in the G8M clothing clone shape into a G9 without anatomical attachments. After lining up the arms and legs, I export this at base resolution as a .obj, then I reimport it as a bodysuit for G8M. (With the Transfer Utility, the .obj is made to wrap itself around G8M.) I make G8M invisible but dial in the shape I want and the bodysuit attempts to copy it. Then I export this .obj under another name. Then I clear the scene and being in a new G9 from the Dev Kit and use the Morph Loader Pro to import the head. This is the method of importing sculpted head shapes. So it is treated as if you made it with Blender or Zbrush. There's also the "Adjust Rigging to Shape" which is complicated.
Another way is to transfer the full character morph (I use WP Guru's method), then use Shape Splitter (https://www.daz3d.com/shape-splitter) to create a head-only morph.
