  The Midget 1500 box and Spitfire box perhaps share
some lineage, but again, they are not the same.

  If you mean internals, it makes sense, since that is
where reliability is made or broken.

  However, the cases are not the same, and the
boxes themselves are definitely not interchangeable.

  Witness the market for the conversion kits that, with
a bit of welding and cutting, put the spitfire box in a
Midget 1500.
