Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you...
The thread you sited has both agreements and disagreements with them fitting. I side with Derek that they are different.
See my attached photos. I had a late nose laying about and took some photos. The first photo show the extra ear for mounting the later grills. Yes, you might cut this off to get the '62-64 surrounds to fit. But if you look at photo #2 you will see a surround fitted into the hole of the later nose. It doesn't come out right. Yes, you could get the surround cut down a bit and might be able to get that to fit. But if you look at photo #3, there are no mounting hooks on the back bottom of the openning to hold the screen of the '62-64 assembly in place. If this were a '62-64 nose, there would be three sheet metal hook spot welded on the back side to hold the screen in place while a couple of screw came from to the top of the nose to provided upward tension on the upper end of the screen. Yes, I guess you could weld your own hooks on there to do this...
I hope this clears it up for you....
Chris
