They are identical up to the rear third of the frame so you have no problems. The driveline is identical from 1/2 the rear driveshaft forward. Confirmed this when measuring out a full length skid plate with a SWB and LWB side by side up on hoists.

For those who don't know what came from the UK Mitsu site heres the skid plate made from basic polished diamond plate.

Now while this may be a good design its quite likely the final product I am after could be slightly different in final dimensions. If we see obvious gaps they will be addressed with Stephen during the measurement check he wants to perform.
The plate will be done in Auto-CADD and the file is sent out for cutting by water jet. We might be able to get a design cut into the plate around the front if we want.....provided its not creating a weak spot in the process.
As for how this UK design fits perhaps Jesse can shed some light on this.....oh Jesse!!!
