Yes if the headlights and bumper will fit but the headlights wire in differently.
You'll also need the inner wheel guards and I think there's another black plastic trim under the bumper and in front of the splash guard that's different.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

nope not the 1/4 panels.
Think they're sometimes galled a guard liner or inner wheel arch.
Look like this.

I think this will be your biggest problem.....
Second hand they're very rare and a new one from Mazda, if they have any, would be VERY expensive.

... probably going to be a costly affair with the conversion, but you could get rupewrecht to import an SE front bumper + lip from Yahoo Japan, as I have seen a couple in recent times. Else, you could get an NB8B bumper and slap on the SE lip (which is what I have done)

Extremely costly, and will take time as you have to piece it together from second hand parts.
Best bet is to PM someone wrecking an SE and just buy the whole front from them.
