In my own experience (limited tho it is) there are Bugeye and MK2 tops that fit either and there are some that reach back towards the boot an inch or two farther than others. The front lip will be the same and the side curtain opening will be close to the same, depending on who manufactured the top.
For those who don't know there are slight variations to the side curtains.
People who have bought new rubber seals have found that some fit and some are too long or too short. There are bound to be some variations to everything.
My own side curtains have about a 2" rubber surround seal, presumably to bridge any possible gap.
I had a ugeye hardtop that was about an inch too short in the back and now I've got one that fits my MK2 very nicely. The first one would not clear my roll bar but the one I have now does.
There are variations, the only way to know if a top will work for you is to try it on your car.
