    Yes they are different.

    The roofline and vertical part are slightly different and if you fit the wrong one it will overlap the rear smaller glass by 8-10mm or have a gap the same (cant remember which one does which)

    It can be mostly adjusted out but doesn't look right.

    I don't have the best of memories but I think I may have read somewhere about some RA23 ones being sanded down to fit, you would be best of taking them to a windscreen place if you wanted to give that a go.
