Can you change IELTS to UK NARIC?

Submitted Visa application with the IELTS exam results.

Home Office has come back to me saying my IELTS certificate doesn't have UKVI number on it and need to be updated and has provided me 10 working days to come back to them by.

On checking I realised I had done the General IELTS and not the IELTS UKVI. Now I don't have enough time to re-do the UKVI exam and provide the results in 10 working days.

On researching I found the below:

You can prove your knowledge of English by either:

passing an approved English language test with at least CEFR level B1 in reading, writing, speaking and listening
having an academic qualification that was taught in English and is recognised by UK NARIC as being equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or PhD

So now can I explain to them on the email I couldn't do the UKVI in the 10 working days time and provide them with the UK NARIC certificate instead? Will they accept it?

To avoid confusion, it would probably be best to register your own username to ask your questions about a completely different visa route, as most members check previous posting history before responding to queries to understand the history.
