Kato SD glass sets

Anyone know if the glass set for the Kato 'Revised SD45' will fit the cabs for older Kato EMD models, such as the 'Original' SD40?

SD40 glass fit as a replacement in my original run SD45/SD45 cabs.  Can't think of a reason they won't fit since the parts all seem to be a rerun of the original tooling including the 'squinty' numberboards...

Okay good to know, BUT...

In the meantime I tried the front headlight and window piece from one of my Atlas Classic GP35s ... and it worked!  And it costs five dollars less than the Kato parts?

Just one question...Which of these is the part for the front headlight and window?

According to my Atlas GP-35 parts diagram, 460205 is H/L LENS & WINDSHIELD and 460203 is CAB SIDE WINDOWS.

First 
part number is Headlight/numberboards/centre windshield.  Second is glass for each side/door windows.

Diagrammed here: http://www.atlasrr.com/pdf/N%20EMD%20GP35%20DIESEL%20LOCO.pdf

Atlas/Kato locomotives do share a lot of parts...

Awesome.   This forum is great for quick answers.  Parts ordered. 

Thanks for reminding me about those parts lists in the bottom of my loco boxes.   :facepalm:
