NFS file handle question

Hello All,
I have a small question regarding the NFS file handles.
Suppose I have a NFS client who has requested for a particular file from the NFS server.Now lets assume that I am using a NFS v2 server. So I get the filehandle for that file and I can use it. Suppose later I upgrade the server to NFS v3,can I use the same file handle which was issued to me by the NFS v2 server?

Thanks in advance
