Two similar but independent patterns has gotten one out of nine parts misplaced with the other pattern. What two figures (one in range a-i and the other in range 1-9) are the odd ones that should be switched to restore both patterns, and why?

Is it

e and 9?

Rationale:

I notice that taking each shape separately, they are reflected diagonally topleft-bottomright. So that suggests that the two squares that we need to swap are along the diagonal. Then I looked at the bottom diamond. I notice that swapping e and 9 results in this shape alternating + and x on both grids.
