RS-485 would be more like a TX+/TX- and RX+/RX-. There is no real signal
ground only a common line more like an earth. They maybe have separate
ground lines for both transmission lines, but they are probably still
ground referenced meaning the two GND have always the same electrical
potential.  

I wouldn't let myself impress by such strange definitions and just simply
try it out, possibly with a breakout box with LEDs to check that the data
transmission is really ok.
