Is the only difference with a convertible wing the sill part?

If so, would it then be possible to get a standard wing and add the convertible sill part or fabricate the convertible sill part?

Thanks in advance....

Yes and yes. The lowest part needs to be cut off of a saloon wing, and the longer cab. part welded on. The join is under a trim piece, so doesn't have to be too pretty.
This has been on here several times.

And the bottom part is easily fabricated so you don't have to find a cabriolet wing that isn't rotten there.
