Default Door Glass difference?

I needed a new side window for my 86' and the guy who I took it to was all excited cuz he found a newer style solar glass window to install. I thought that this guy should know if it should fit or not. When I got the vette back the glass didn't fit very well. I called and he said something along the lines of "I tried my best to allign it". So I figured I should ask if the later vettes used a different size/shape side window or not? I have seen on Corvette Central's website there are different part # for the glass.

I have wondered about the part numbers too but I can tell you they are the same shape and your guy did NOT align it correctly

I was hoping that was the case so I didn't need to buy another window. But that solar glass has like a green tint kinda thing going on and my pass/side window is regular. I figured I'd tint them both so it wouldn't look different maybe.
