Are columbia front mount and analyzing reproducers the same?

Trying to buy a reproduction front mount reproducer on ebay that looks identical to the analyzing one on my BI sterling, except for the throat. I need the needle housing and micas from the reproduction, and using this and swapping those parts out is drastically cheaper than buying just the parts from APSCO.
Does anyone know if they are the same size?

I've been watching this post since it appeared, and cant believe no-one would know the answer. I wonder if you should repost it in the main forum?
My "guess" is that they are the same size, but guesses aren't much good when forking out cash is involved

Well I found out myself. They ARE. I bought a reproduction from eBay because I needed a small part for my Analyzing and aside from the casing with long throat they are the same.

Yea I think if you want to get attention on it, posting in the main forum is usually better. Good that you found the answer anyway.
