Default '15,'16,'17,'18,'19 radiator differences??

Haven't seen anyone comment on this yet but are the radiators different between the years?? Not the end tanks but the core thickness? Can some of you guys measure them? I have a 2015.

I've heard '19 radiator is larger on Z06 (shared with ZR1), but haven't heard anything on other models.

I thought that I just saw a thread (maybe in the ZR1 forum) that said that the ZR1, Z06, and Z51 manual cars all share the same radiator with the same part number.

I tried one of the online GM Parts suppliers. 2015 through 2018 the same radiator part number is used for Z51 and Z06. They don't show the parts for the 19s yet so couldn't verify the info on the 19s.

That was my thread too but I figured here would get more traction.
