Front upper and Lower control arms, RRS L320 fit D3 ?

My brother's 1st gen pre facelift L320 4.2 supercharged RRS (08A MY) has had both front arms exchanged due to failure in hydrobush and general wear in balljoints.
Requested workshop to give me back old parts.
Upon inspection, lower look identical to D3.
Upper are different, almost same shape but.... solid, not cheapo stamped parts as D3.
And here is my question. Once rebuilt (by me, new bushes and joints), can they be fitted to my D3?
They look far beefier, especially the upper one, so in theory no nasty surprises of upper ones snapping (yes, lower also snap).
Parts (RRS ones) are
_ Lower R: LR029304
-Lower L: LR029306
-Upper R LR051617
Upper L LR074838

My brother's RRS has ACE fitted, but don't think it has something to do with the arms, just with the active roll bar.


Would be very grateful if someone could confirm suitability, because also keep my older front arms to be rebuilt and would happily send them to be recycled as the RRS ones look beefier, better and stronger
Best regards

Upper front must be from D3 - with RRS arms(upper) sway bar links not fit.
 With a better offroad vehicle you will have a longer way to go for tractor Smile

Hi, thank you. Lower are an exact fit (put side by side, or one over the other, are mirror images.
Thank you for clarification on upper ones. Best regards and thank you
