Default C3 window question

Did they use the same size glass for the removeable rear window(68-72) and the solid rear window(73-77)?

Did they just take the same piece of glass just not use the chrome trim on the newer ones?

The older units can be retrofitted to the newer units, but I believe the glass may be different.

I wanted to put glass from a 77 into a 72 frame to make a removeable window.

Could this work?
