Last I heard, unless it was changed very recently, the SM57 and SM58 are the exact same mic with a different head casing. I'm not sure what kind of an impact the head casing on the 57 has, but if you took that ball top off the 58 they would be the same thing i guess except for that screen on the end of the 57.
I've never tried comparing recordings between a headless 58 and a 57, so I can't say how close the sound you'd get would be.
