Yeah, headlights are all the same shape, but as said, compact ones are a different type internally.

Indicators are different, one type for cab / coupe, different type for compact, touring and saloon.

Wings and bonnet are either coupe / cab, or compact / saloon / touring.

Pre and post facelift have different side repeater holes too.
cheers,
