Euro bumperettes - difference between SC and Carrera models?

I am planning on installing the euro version rear bumperettes on my 1986 Carrera. I have a lead on a set of bumperettes (911-505-341-00 and -342-00) that are designated for the SC.

From all the pictures provided on the various euro conversion posts on Pelican I cannot tell or it there is a difference between the two versions. The bumpers, lower apron, and position of the mounting holes all seem to be identical. Has anyone had experience mounting SC euro bumperettes on a Carrera or know the differences?

Thanks

The US big bumpers have more holes than the euro small bumpers. you'll have to plug some holes. or you can buy a euro bumper blade, everything else will bolt onto it

Yes, I am aware of that. My question is specific to the difference, if there is any,, between the euro specified for SC vs. Carrera.

There has been a change in the lowest edge of the rubber bumpers some time along the production, but I'd say closer to '85 or '86

On the Carrera, the bumper was notched out larger when compared to the earlier impact bumper cars and the under bumper valance was subsequently repositioned. This resulted in a re-profiling of the lower section of the bumper pad for both Euro and US pads to match up with the relocated valance. Thus the two different part numbers for each type of bumper pad.
