The pic below are two of the Ohlins 888 shocks.
Short one from my 2010 model (same chassis and linkage as 2011 model, which I run a TTX in).
The long one uses a newer style linkage (2013 model, slightly changed to be lower than 2012).
Pretty significant differences between the two.

The picture above pretty much tells the story. No..
Also the top mounting location is different on the newer bikes.

I'm not going to say no, but I can't confirm it for you either. You'll need to do some serious investigating to confirm/deny the fit.
You'll need to check bikes/pictures/exploded diagrams and parts fiche to confirm if there are differences between the linkages in the 2011 base model, race model, and special models (nambo and certvantes); as well as the 2012 model. From a quick look at some pictures it appears only the Nambotin Model has the different linkage that hangs down from the swingarm.
Looking at Ohlins parts listings we have the following
04-11 #GG 1182
12 #GG1282
13-14 #GG1387 (TTX44W)
13-14 #GG1487 (46PRXW)
Given the part numbers it appears the 12 stands alone.

OK Part numbers
Rocker Arm Assembly
BE32000NCT3011 (Nambo 12 13)
Connecting Rod
BF30-001CT-4512 (2013)
BE34000NCT3011 (2011 Nambo, 2012 Model)
So based off that I'd think that possibly you could.. maybe
But the frame numbers between a 2011 Nambo and 2011 Base model are
BE10000R2511 (Nambo)
BE100002511 (2011)
So you'd have to check if the difference is just an adjustment to the headstem, etc... but more likely I think it will be changes to the linkage mounts. Parts diagrams indicate this too. So not a swap and go by anymeans.
And just while we're at it.
BE10000013012 (2012 Frame)
BE10000013013 (2013 Frame)
BE10000CT-CAB-1 (2014 Frame)
Given the changes to both the frames and connecting rods, I'd almost be certain that you won't be able to just bolt up a 12 linkage and shock.

I guess I will forget that project I have got a ttx on my race I just like the way the nambo handles
