Wood trim question: Is the 280SE and 300SEL window wood trim the same?

Size and species?
I can get nice wood trim from a 280 SE but I am unsure if this is the right choice.

Rear windows will be a different shape as the the SEL's are longer.

Size-wise the front windows appear to be the same, back windows vary between the SE and SEL as mentioned.

I'm refinishing front door wood from a 300SE and putting it on my 280SEL. Fitment is exactly like the original 280 pieces. Species looks the same to me, but I don't know what veneers were available, yours may vary.

Is the curved piece of the rear window just a bit too short? And the vertical piece is fine I guess?
How are chances to get just the curved SEL rear window part from somewhere?
Well, would be pure luck I assume... my rear bow is heavily damaged.
Or do you think I can try and add a piece to the horizontal part of the bow?
i am used to work with wood.
