Are the '89 widebody shocks & strut bodies interchangeable with aussie delivered starions?

There is a difference in track from what I have heard in the past.

I believe only the rear ones are, but not exactly sure about the 'adjustable' ones.
The front are completely different! So, no go!

How are the fronts different?
I was hoping to use the konis from my JB in the new car.

The front strut may be slightly different but the strut inserts are the same. In the US the narrow body and widebody list the same struts for the back.
Looking at my widebody they look exactly the same as my JA.

the front housing on the narrowbody is slightly different in length and the spindle angle is also different. the inserts are easily interchangable.

So are you confirming the struts are slighlty different but the actually strut insert (like a KYB insert) are interchangeable with a narrowbody?
Also does the flatside 5 stud (5 lug) have the same brakes as the widebody?
