    Metal soft top cover difference between series

    Anyone know the difference between the metal soft top covers for a Series I-II and Series 3-IV? Would a set of covers from a SII fit a Series IV? The Rootes parts manual has a different part number, but visually the covers appear the same. Thanks.
