    99% sure there are no differences between the two.

    Brookville lists two different part no.s
    I seem to recall that the curve radius may be different.
    See if any searches help.

    28-29 have a raised area by the rumble lid latch, on the inner skin. there's a recess in the trunk rail to accommodate this. i've heard there might be a little difference in the contour but have swapped year to year and they seem to line up fine, given just about every original decklid needs some tweaking. a 30-31 will bolt right up to a 28-29 but to use a 28-29 on a 30-31 you have to either cut a notch in the trunk rail or remove the raised area on the decklid by the rumble latch.

    I've got a 31 deck lid on my 29, but its plastic - fitted up with a little work, mainly because it wasn't perfect on the inside, and converted from dickie seat to trunk.

    The guy I got it off fitted a lourved 29 deck lid to his 31, and it fitted fine
